Hi everyone,

I already know how to split a field which contains either **Title** and **Artist** but I'm now searching a way to do the same if Title and Artist are separated by spaces of variable length as in the attached screenshot.

Thank you in advance.  
Ian

Import the data with a mask that has at least 2 adjacent space characters between the data for TITLE and ARTIST, e.g  
`%title%..%artist%`  
where each dot represents a space character.  
Then process the fields that got the superfluous space characters with  
Convert\>Tag-Tag e.g for ARTIST  
Format string: `$trim(%artist%)`  
to remove the leading and trailing spaces.
