Sorry guys to ask a help on this topic for thousend times, but I'm sitting and read topics since hours during the evening, and cannot found the right form by now and going mad.

What I have is:  
Artist: Michael Jackson  
Title: This Girl Is Mine (Featuring Will I. Am) (Club Mix)

What I want is:  
Artist: Michael Jackson feat. Will I. Am  
Title: This Girl Is Mine (Club Mix)

So far I tried this one, but did not make it:  
Action: Guess values  
Source format: `%artist% $regexp(%title%,(.*) \(Featuring\ (.*)\)(.*),(feat. $2) +++ $1$3)`  
Guessing Pattern: %artist% +++ %title%

Where I missed it?

I see a strange backslash behind the "Featuring":

> [@bertom17](#):
>
> (Featuring\ (

Try:  
`$regexp(%title%,(.*) \(Featuring\ (.*?)\)(.*),(feat. $2) +++ $1$3)`

Thank you. Title is OK now, but what I got now is:

Artist: (feat. Will I. Am)  
Title: This Girl Is Mine (Club Mix)

It simply deleted Michael Jackson.

Yes, I only referred to the regular expression to be exchanged, the rest was OK.

Sure 🙂 This will be my final format then:

`%artist% $regexp(%title%,(.*) \(Featuring\ (.*?)\)(.*),feat. $2 +++ $1$3)`

Thank you very much, you made my day!
