Hi does anyone know how to batch move tracks with featuring artists over to another field WITHOUT any other text.

What I mean is that I want to move the featuring text including the parenthesis brackets "(feat. Stephanie Smart)" and leave the "(Original Mix)"

I have pieced together a code string but instead of just moving the "featuring section" it moves everything from the "(featuring. onwards to end of text) This result is an undesired one.

* * *

**ORIGINAL:**  
**TITLE** = All We Need (feat. Stephanie Smart) (Original Mix)  
**ARTIST** = ARTIST

**UNWANTED RESULT**   
**TITLE** = All We Need  
**ARTIST** = ARTIST (feat. Stephanie Smart) (Original Mix)

* * *

**Code used is as followed:**

Source format:  
%ARTIST%$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({\<]?\s\*(?:featuring|feat.?|ft.?)\s\*([^])}\>]+)\>\s\*[])}\>]?(.\*)$',' (feat. $2$3)+++$1',1)

Guessing pattern:  
%ARTIST%+++%TITLE%

**THIS IS WHAT I AM REQUESTING**

* * *

**ORIGINAL:**  
**TITLE** = All We Need (feat. Stephanie Smart) (Original Mix)  
**ARTIST** = ARTIST

**WHAT I WANT**  
**TITLE** = All We Need (Original Mix)  
**ARTIST** = ARTIST (feat. Stephanie Smart)

* * *

Thanks in Advance :
