I'm trying to create an action that will allow me to move part of the artist tag to the end of the title tag.

Example:

I currently have this:  
**Artist:** Artist Feat Artist 2  
**Title:** Title

But I want it to be like this:  
**Artist:** Artist  
**Title:** Title Feat Artist 2

Is this possible?

I entered your "move strings between tags" in the forum-search and got this:

Could this help?

Thank you very much. I didn't do it exactly the way you posted but it was a great help.

I ended up with:

Formatstring1: %TITLE% Feat $regexp(%ARTIST%,._Feat ,)  
Formatstring2: $regexp(%ARTIST%, Feat._,)
