Hey folks, Im DJ CHARGE and im Using Serato for my Music Stuff and Library Management. I dont like the fact in Serato that u cannot add multiple Custom Tags like in Rekordbox. I used the comment field for my custom tags so this can look like this Artist: Beyonce Trackname: Single Ladies BPM: 105 Genre: Dancehall **Comment:** BIG ROOM - LADIES - PRIMETIME - SAFER So this ist how I Tag my Songs. But for better search i need to put a [] for every Tag in the comment Example: [BIG ROOM] [LADIES] [PRIMETIME] [SAFER] Some Tracks have diffrent and other tags like here in the picture. Is it possible to add [] before every word ? Sorry guys my english is so bad i hope you understand what i need.

You can try Convert Tag -\> Tag or press ALT + 5 with Field: `COMMENT` Format String: `$regexp(%COMMENT%,(.+?)( - |$),'['$1']' )` tested here: [regex101: build, debug and test regex](https://regex101.com/r/Bxh6aj/1) (the syntax for square brackets differs for Mp3tag, they have to be enclosed in `'['`) **But to be honest:** I don't see how this new syntax could be "_for better search_" ---

This only adds 2 more characters to the whole string (space and hyphen). I think you could get rid of these without any loss of information. Which brings me to another approach - perhaps with 2 actions: First: a simple replace where you replace all "space hyphen space" with "] [". Than one of the type "Format value" for COMMENT with Format string: '['%comment%']' ---

> [@ohrenkino](#): > > if you enclose the terms (which I assume should be the result) in brackets - why do you still need the hypen? There are no more hyphens in the above result (and as I understand the OP request). I'm wrong? ---

Yes, you are right. Sorry to all. ---

I noticed a "BIG ROOM" and "BIGROOM". Did not find the same kind of inconsistency with any of the other two-word comments, but we are presented a small sample of what is probably a large library. It would be a good idea to search for two-word comments both ways and resolve the inconsistencies that are found before trying to bracket the comments. I suspect that the bracket desire is to prevent finding a search term in an artist or title by mistake. ---
