Hi,
I want to divide the text in one field (Title) in two parts, one that goes to the field title and the other part to the field artist.
I was trying it with the tag-tag function but I wasn't able to do it.
What I want....
INITIAL
Paul Schwartz And The Joyful Compagny Of Singer - Misere (TITLE)
FINAL RESULT:
Paul Schwartz and The Joyful Compagny Of Singer (ARTIST)
Misere (TITLE)
Any idea?
Greetings. Pachu.

Create an action of the type "Guess values" for TITLE
and enter as format string:
%title% - %artist%
