I have a number of files that have the remix type in parenthesis I.E. [extended remix], that are sat with the artist name.
I wish to move these (including the parenthesis) to be behind the title.
I.E.
Title - Bloggs Boogie
Artist - Joe Bloggs [Extend Remix]
I wish to have as;
Title - Bloggs Boogie [Extended Remix]
Artist - Joe Bloggs
I have read a number of guess value and format suggestions, but cannot get them to provide the result I need.
Many thanks.

Try an action of the type "Guess value"
Source: `$regexp(%artist%,'(.*) (\[.*)',$1==%title% $2)`
Target format string: `%artist%==%title%

Absolutely fantastic - this works, I don't follow quite how (lack of understanding of $regexp), but I really appreciate your swift response!

`$regexp(%artist%,'(.*) (\[.*)'`
The above regular expression creates two captured groups:
`(.*)` as `$1`
a space
`(\[.*)` as `$2`
This means:
Search for everything before a space and an opening` [` bracket.
Put the content of this leading part into `$1`
Put the content of the following part into `$2`
The second part in the regular expression after the comma is the substitution ("replacement").
`$1==%title% $2`
This means:
Replace the string with the found part in `$1`,
add `==`
add `%title%`
add a space
add the found part in `$2`
With the target format string:
`%artist%==%title%`
you fill the content in front of `==` into the tag ARTIST
you fill the content after the `==` into the tag TITLE
The `==` signs are unique dividing characters with a very low risk be found in the content itself.
You could choose whatever you like as dividing characters, as long as they are not part of the content itself.
