Hi there,
I am currently using this code:
`$regexp($upper(%artist%),'(?#From "The Artist" to "Artist")^(?i)(?:the|der|die|das)\s+',) - $caps(%title%)`
for: ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (has To Fall) ,
but it should be this way: **ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (Has To Fall)**
I'd really appreciate it if someone could modify my code for this.
I've tried it in many ways, but failed so far 🙂
Thank you so much.

I am not sure what the regular expression should do there if you do not reference any search result.
I would try "Format value" with
`$caps2('ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (has To Fall)','(')` -\> "ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (Has To Fall)"

unfortunately it didn't work , the first word in the brackets is still in the lower case:
(has To Fall)

As I tried it with the string from the example and the result was as shown you now have to show, preferably with a screendump the original data and the action that you used.

you are missing the parameter to set the word separators:
> [@ohrenkino](#):

> `fall)','(')`

I am really sorry, I can't figure this out 🙂
I'd appreciate it, if you just paste the entire code-line here.
Cheers

`$caps2(%title%)`
should be
`$caps2(%title%,'(')`

Thank you ... but there's a new problem now with the partial old problem there 🙂
with this:
$regexp($upper(%artist%),'(?#From "The Artist" to "Artist")^(?i)(?:the|der|die|das)\s+',) - $caps2(%title%,'(')
now, I'm getting this ☹
ABBA - The winner takes it all (Has to fall)
and all I wanted to have it like this:
**ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (Has To Fall)**
where am I still doing it wrong?

Yeah, as you gave
> [@Tenth](#):
>
> ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (has To Fall) ,
as source string, all the other words where already in capitals and they were to be left alone.
So,
`$caps2(%title%,'(')`
becomes
`$caps(%title%,'( ')`

thank you so much for your patience and time 🙂

Nice to see it's fixed 🙂
What about this:
The beatles - Back in the U.s.s.r (how Lucky You Are)
Should be like this:
**BEATLES - Back In The U.S.S.R (How Lucky You Are)**
What do I add to the current code or what should be the full code for this?
Thanks a lot.

There is no automatism to convert "The beatles" into "BEATLES".
If you really want that, you have to specify a replacement with code like this
`$replace(%ARTIST%,The beatles,BEATLES)`
This would replace `The Beatles` saved in your ARTIST tag with `BEATLES` in the same ARTIST tag.
Please be aware, that such a replacement ist case sensitive. It would not work for an ARTIST `The Beatles` (with a uppercase B) until you use the $upper function.
Thanks to @ohrenkino I just realized, that you want to use it with the mentioned code.

I assumed that this was the originally used code.
