Hi all,
I've managed to build a little suite of Actions for various things, but have run into trouble with this one. I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I've looked at other answers, but regular expressions hurt my brain and I can't figure out how to adapt the examples to my needs.
**WHAT I HAVE:**
Title: Some song with many words (ft. Some Singer and Some Other Person) (Live) (Remixname Remix)
Artist: Some Main Artist
**WHAT I WANT:**
Title: Some song with many words (Live) (Remixname Remix)
Artist: Some Main Artist & Some Singer & Some Other Person
I have a bunch of songs with some variation of "(feat. [Singer])" in the Title, and I want to move the [Singer] words to the Artist field. However, I only want the [Singer] words, not "feat." or the brackets, and I don't want the contents of brackets that don't start with some variation on "feat.". I can't necessarily assume that "feat." will be in brackets, but if it's not, I can assume that the rest of the Title field after the initial "feat." string is [Singer] words. I'd also like to be able to cope with different variations on "feat." (like "Featured", "ft", "featuring" etc).
Thanks in advance!
Buzko

see e.g. this thread on how to move "feat":
> [@Replace multiple tag fields, remove words](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/replace-multiple-tag-fields-remove-words/43670):
>
> Hello, I would like to remove from all TITLE tags the following words, (feat.\*) Basically if the title field has any words that begin with feat and enclosed in parenthesis, i.e. (feat.\*) then remove it. I tried using the Actions to create a preset, Replace with Regular Expression,but I can't get it to work Any help is appreciated
and if that does not satify you, please use the search function as there are soooo many posts that deal with moving "featuring" around form one tag field to another.
