Make a [new action](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1):
_Action type:_ **Guess values**
_Source format:_ **$regexp(%title%,' (.+?)',) $regexp(%title%,'^.+((?:feat. )?(.+?))',===== %artist% feat. $1)**
_Guessing pattern:_ **%title% ===== %artist%**

That was meant to read... please repost the above regex, with it only moving featuring artists enclosed in brackets eg. (feat. \*), not anything in brackets.

May be you have to modify it to your needs. See there if it helps ...

I have tried all types of regex's but, they all move everything from the expression in the brackets to the artist field... as Apple do not appear to have a set rule for tagging files that appear on the iTunes store it makes it difficult.
some example %title% are...
Clarity (feat. Foxes)
Clarity (feat. Foxes) [Zedd Union Remix]
Don't You Worry Child (Radio Edit) [feat. John Martin]
I only want to move the feat. part out of the brackets, to the %artist% tag...
Clarity
Clarity [Zedd Union Remix]
Don't You Worry Child (Radio Edit)
...............
Zedd feat. Foxes
Swedish House Mafia feat. John Martin
Surely, this can be done with one expression and without having to use filters.

If you are so sure, then do it.
If you are not so sure, then show us exactly what you have done so far.

You gave up too quickly.
Note the simple modification here of the given example there ...
[Move "Featuring" from Artist to Title](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/11096/28)
**1. Artist : Zedd Title : Clarity (feat. Foxes) Formatstring: %ARTIST%$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({\<]?\s\*(?:featuring|feat\.?|ft\.?)\s\*([^])}\>]+)[])}\>]?(.\*)$',' feat. $2+++$1$3',1) Temp Result : Zedd feat. Foxes+++Clarity Artist new : Zedd feat. Foxes Title new : Clarity 2. Artist : Zedd Title : Clarity (feat. Foxes) [Zedd Union Remix] Formatstring: %ARTIST%$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({\<]?\s\*(?:featuring|feat\.?|ft\.?)\s\*([^])}\>]+)[])}\>]?(.\*)$',' feat. $2+++$1$3',1) Temp Result : Zedd feat.

Could you please repost the link - it doesn't directly point to a topic in my case.
Thanks.
