Hello I have been having a hard time finding information that would help me with the following problem. I need to remove the 2nd (feat. and replace with & symbol. Example: Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte (feat. Bingx) to Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte & Bingx) Additionally if there is this type of problem, I would like to remove the last 2 (feat. and replace both with & symbol. Example: Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte (feat. Bingx (feat. Misc) to Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte & Bingx & Misc) A super wish would be to replace the 2nd (feat. with a comma and the 3rd (feat. with & (not sure if this would be possible) Example: Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte (feat. Bingx (feat. Misc) to Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte, Bingx & Misc) Hope someone can help Thank you very much ---

> [@JFollo](#): > > Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte (feat. Bingx) `$regexp('Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte (feat. Bingx)','(.*?feat.*?) \(feat\.(.*)',$1 &$2)` Leads to `Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte & Bingx)` This also works for Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte (feat. Bingx (feat. Misc) in a first step as it leads to `Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte & Bingx (feat. Misc)` so you simply run the action twice. To get the first & into a comma: `$regexp('Mass Of Man - Unhappy (feat. Olivia Charlotte & Bingx & Misc)','(.*?) & (.*)','$1, $2' )` Use the scripting commands in an action of the type "Format value" or Convert\>Tag-Tag ---

Well I guess I do have a follow up question. What if its a different band or text? Is there code to replace the 2nd (feat. "Any band" to a & symbol? Generic code for any band? And the same if there is two extra (feat. 1st (feat. to a comma and 2nd (feat. to a & symbol? Generic code for any band or text? Thanks again ---

> [@JFollo](#): > > Generic code for any band or text? No, MP3tag cannot read and does not have a word storage to compare that with the text in the fields. The best way would be to filter for the files that need treatment. ---

You filter e.g with `%title% MATCHES "(feat.*feat"` ---
