Your request looks like the known request ...  
"swap the featured artist from the tagfield ARTIST to the tagfield TITLE".  
Here in this case the character slash '/' has the same meaning as the word 'featuring'.  
Therefore here is offered a method from my library (... it looks somewhat complicated).

Apply action: Guess values

Source format (written as one line):

%TITLE%$regexp($replace(%ARTIST%,'/',' feat. '),'^(.+?)\s+[[({\<]?\s\*(?:featuring|feat\.?|ft\.?)\s\*([^])}\>]+)\\>\s\*[])}\>]?(.\*)$',' (feat. $2$3)===$1',1)

Guessing pattern:

%TITLE%===%ARTIST%

Result:

TITLE = Give It To Em (feat. Rick Ross)

ARTIST = Akon

Here is another method to reach the goal.

Create a helper tag-field ...

**FEAT\_ARTIST \<== $cutLeft(%ARTIST%,$strrchr(%ARTIST%,'/'))**

... gives ... FEAT\_ARTIST = 'Rick Ross'  
... then write ...

**TITLE \<== %TITLE%' feat. '%FEAT\_ARTIST%**

... or ...

**FEAT\_ARTIST \<== ' (feat. '$cutLeft(%ARTIST%,$strrchr(%ARTIST%,'/'))')'**

... gives ... FEAT\_ARTIST = ' (feat. Rick Ross)'  
... then write ...

**TITLE \<== %TITLE%%FEAT\_ARTIST%**

Remove feat artist from ARTIST ...

**ARTIST \<== $left(%ARTIST%,$sub($strrchr(%ARTIST%,'/'),1))**
