Hi
Can any of you regex experts tell me if this is possible
I have files where the artist tags look like this:
Mobin Master Ft. Karina Chavez
But I want to move the 'Ft. Karina Chavez' to the title tag
So the title track will be:
Stand Up (Ft. Karina Chavez)
Is there any way to do this?

**Action:** Guess values
**Source format:** $regexp(%title%~%artist%,(._?)~(._?)\sFt.\s(.\*),$1 (Ft. $3)~$2)
**Guessing pattern:** %title%~%artist%
I hope you have tons of files using this feat. scheme, so this action will be used not only once. 😃😉

Thanks a lot Stevest, that's very helpful
can you tell me what the code would look like if my files have the syntax:
%Artist% **(**Ft. %FeatArtist%**)** - %Title%
I want to move the Ft.-part at the end of the title
I don't know how to escape the literal "("...

I've been looking for a software to remove the ft. part of artist to the title for ages! Thnx a lot!
There is just one little problem though,
I tried applying this to one album of mine and I found that when I apply this, all of my titles get an extra "space" infront of them.
How can I fix this? 
I also have another question... the code says %title%~%artist% but all my mp3's are artist-title,
does this matter at all?
Thnx!
