Hi there! I want to change from Artist: Adel Tawil Title: Tu m'appelles (feat. Peachy) to Artist: Adel Tawil (feat. Peachy) Title: Tu m'appelles Of course, not only exact expression "(feat. Peachy)" should be moved, but everything beginning with "(feat", so that I can use it for the whole datab…

[image] ohrenkino: feat..* Thank you very much! :clap: So there is now the step-by-step solution, creating a new action with 4 parts: ACTION - ACTION - NEW NAME: "Switch of Co-Artists from TITLE to ARTIST" OK 1. REPLACE WITH REGULAR EXPRESSION FIELD: "TITLE" REGULAR EXPRESSION: "(ft. |…

There are so many threads about this topic ... see e.g. this one [image] Replace multiple tag fields, remove words Support I guess this one is the swiss-army-knife for removing featuring slight_smile

Thanks but sorry, I can`t find the solution there neither. I found a post with the same basic question in German: [image] feat entfernen Allgemein Hallo zusammen Ich möchte gerne eine Aktion haben die alles ab einer bestimmten Zeichenkette im Dateiname entfernt. z.B. B…

then see here: [image] Featuring & all derivatives Support I'm trying to ... Remove any brackets round the featuring/feat/ft entry Change the wording to always be "feat." Move the entry from the 'Title' field to the 'Artist' field I found an answer (in bits) in German b…

Thank you. And yes, I thought I got it with this link, buter after doing some testing an then finally renaming everything I saw following bug: original: Artist: Söhne Mannheims Title: Gesucht und gefunden changed to: Artist: Söhne Mannheims funden Title: Gesucht und gefunden Obviously there sh…

the problem is the function $strchr() which should really be $strstr(). $strchr() returns the position of a single character (in this case "f") ... which leads to "funden".

[image] ohrenkino: strstr Great, that works now. :blush: :+1: One last thing: The final deletion action: FIELD: "TITLE" REGULAR EXPRESSION: "^(.+)( feat.+)" REPLACE WITH: "$1" deletes also everything beginning with "feather", for instance. How can that be avoided?

if you have always "feat." then use feat\..* Otherwise you would need the unification expression from the "swiss army knife" link.

… and if you want to have replaced all this "feature" and "versus" stuff with just an "&", you only add following three action parts between part 3 and part 4: REPLACE WITH REGULAR EXPRESSION FIELD: "ARTIST" REGULAR EXPRESSION: "(ft. | ft. | ft | f. | (featuring | featuring | (feat. | (feat | fe…

Even though you found a solution (so many ways lead to Rome), it may be more concise to use an action of the type "Guess value" and an auxiliary field to move the featured name around. This thread describes such a way: [image] Artist Vs Artist to Artist Featuring Artist Support …

Thank you so much for sharing your solution, @olum ! I did run into some issues implementing it, though. I think Actions 2 and 3 assume that there is nothing in the Title field to the right of the " feat." except for the featured artist string. Unfortunately, some of my tracks with featured artist…

Copy and delete "featuring" between tag fields
