Hello, I am asking for help please with a issue I can't seem to find an answer to. I have looked at 50 or more posts asking similar questions and gone back and tried different variations of the answers. My question is how would I swap:

`(Title Field) song name (**remix) (feat.**)` to  
`(Title Field) song name (feat. **) (** remix)`?

This is the closest question to what I want but they asked for:

`Song Title (feat. Xyz) [Abc remix] to Song Title [Abc Remix] (feat. Xyz)`

They have one ( ) and one [], I have both ( ) and ( ).

The answers were:

You could use an action of the type "Format Tag-Field" for TITLE  
Enter as format string: `$regexp('%title%','(.*) ([.*]) ((.*))',$1 $3 $2)`

I tried this by changing the `([.*]) ((.*))' to ((.*)) ((.*))'` Does not work changing the `[]` to `( )`

You should get the same result with an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for TITLE  
Enter as search string: `(.*) ([.*]) ((.*))`  
Enter as replace string:`$1 $3 $2`

I tried changing the `([.*])` to `((.*))` Does not work changing the `[]` to `( )`

Or enter  
`$regexp('%title%','(.*) ([.*]) ((.*))',$1 $3 $2)`  
in the Convert\>tag-tag  
function for %title%

I have tried changing the `([.*]) to ((.*))` Does not work changing the `[]` to `( )`

I have tried: You could use an action of the type "Format Tag-Field" for TITLE  
Enter as format string: `$regexp('%title%','(.*) (* *(* *.* *)*) ((.*))',$1 $3 $2)`

I changed this to: `$regexp('%title%','(.*) (* *(* *.* *)*) ((.*))',$1 $2)` - Does not work  
`$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s((.+?))\s((feat.\s.+?))$','$1 $3 $2')` - Does not work

And a few more different variations and a bunch more different Format value's, Convert\>tag-tag and Guess Values but all the questions did not deal with a ( ) and ( ).

Thank you for any responses.

Additionally (but not needed if to much)

How would I move `( **** )` from one field to another? Lets say from Artist to Title.

All the posts really only deal with only words or `(feat. )` or (feat. and remove the ( - but none just move `( **** )`.

It seems all the different codes I have tried don't like me changing things to `( )`.

Sorry for the long post.

Try an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for TITLE  
Search string: `(.*) (\(.*\)) (\(.*\))`  
Replace with: `$1 $3 $2`

You are a genius.

Can't believe it was that simple and I was trying code 40 characters long.

Thank you soo much.
