I am quite sure I spotted something like that while browsing last night for a different question I had, but can't find it again now.

Many of my Artist fields appear as:  
Artist1-Artist2-Artist3

How can I make them appear as:  
Artist1 feat. Artist2 & Artist3 & Artist4 etc.?

I don't know much about the scripts so all I'd end up doing is replacing all dashes with feat. 😕

You could try an action of the type "Format value" or use Convert\>Tag-Tag for ARTIST  
Format string: `$replace($regexp(%artist%,(.*?)-(.*),$1 feat. $2),-, & )`
