</div>

for the longer string I would try an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: %performer%  
Pattern: %performer% Written by : %composer%

Please note, that the separator in Pattern is taken literally. In your example I found that you once have a space in front of the colon and the other time you don't.  
So perhaps you delete the superfluous spaces first.
