Could not find any solution for this in the existing threads.
This is how my export file looks like:
```auto
$filename(E:\Temp\Tracklists\%album%.txt,ansi)
$loop(%track%)'['color=green']'%track%'['/color']' - '['color=#E35151']''['i']''['%_length%']''['/i']''['/color']' • '['artist']'$meta_sep(artist, & )'['/artist']': %title%
$loopend()
```
I’m using the double backslash to separate multiple artist. When I use the script mentioned above I get the following:
```auto
[color=green]02[/color] - [color=#E35151][i][03:21][/i][/color] • [artist]Minus 8 & Virag[/artist]: We're Waiting
```
But I want it like this:
```auto
[color=green]02[/color] - [color=#E35151][i][03:21][/i][/color] • [artist]Minus 8[/artist] & [artist]Virag[/artist]: We're Waiting
```
Is this possible?

Please show us a screenshot from Alt + T with your `ARTIST` field content of the track with **Minus & Virage**.
The solution for your export script depends on whether we see two or more `ARTIST` fields or only one `ARTIST` field.

In your export script, you want to combine every `ARTIST` content with a space, an `&` (ampersand) character and a space?
As you wrote:
`[artist]Minus 8[/artist] & [artist]Virag[/artist]`
this would be extended with 3 artist like this
`[artist]Minus 8[/artist] & [artist]Virag[/artist] & [artist]Third Artistname[/artist]`
and so on for every additional ARTIST?
What about artists whose names include an ampersand, such as
**Simon & Garfunkel** or **Bob Marley & The Wailers**?

replace the reference to the multiple artist `$meta_sep(artist, & )` with
`$replace($meta_sep(artist, == ),==,[/artist] & [artist])`

@LyricsLover I want it as you can see here in track 02 & 05, but not as in track 9:
@ohrenkino This does not change the result, it’s like in track 09 then.

Try: `$replace($meta_sep(artist,==),==,'['/artist']' & '['artist']')`
(which takes care of the square brackets)

@P.unkt
Just out of interest:
Which editor displays your exported %album%.txt result file in such a colourful way?

Thank you.
With your modified export script, I get this output in your mentioned BBCode Text Editor:
Could you please provide the complete working export script to see your example output without the [artist] and [/artist] keywords?
BTW: There is no closing [/artist] after the last artist. Is this correct?
