Problem with $regexp in an Action

Support
1

I'm trying to extract %GUEST ARTIST% from the following %title%:

Keep On Movin' (feat. Inga Lühning)

[#0]
T=5
F=GUEST ARTIST
1=$regexp(%title%,(^.*)feat\\\\. (.*?)\\\\),$2)

In Notepad++, the regexp (^.)feat. (.?)) returns (via $2): Inga Lühning

However, under mp3tag's format value action for %GUEST ARTIST%, $regexp(%title%,(^.)feat. (.?)),$2) it returns: ,$2)

It is the same when the regexp is encased in quotation marks.

The problem with Guess Value is that the term "feat." can be variable like "ft.", "featuring", etc. I can use "|" in regexp to enable lookup of such variations of "feat." To my understanding, this is not possible with guess value.

I think that this expression works:

$regexp(%title%,'^.feat. (.))',$1)

Yes, this works. I guess I didn't bracket my regexp with apostrophe's earlier. Thanks!

Anyways, in the meantime, I came up with an action that does a little bit of everything in taking GUEST ARTIST information from %title% and placing it in its own field while also formatting %title% to make it look uniform. I'm posting this here just for reference in case someone comes across this thread seeking similar answers:
