Hi

I have a lot of music in this format:

title:  
It's Yourz (ft. Raekwon, U-God, RZA, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah)  
artist:  
Wu-Tang Clan

I want it to look like this:  
title:  
It's Yourz  
artist:  
Wu-Tang Clan\Raekwon\U-God\RZA\Inspectah Deck\Ghostface Killah

Thank you very much for your help

Try 2 actions in an action group:  
1:  
Guess value  
Source: `$regexp(%title%,'(.*?) \(ft. (.*)\)',%artist%'\\($2==$1')`  
Target string:%artist%==%title%  
2:  
Replace for ARTIST  
Search: `,`  
Replace with: `\`
