Hi community!

I have a series of MP3 tags that have separating commas as naming conventions.  
So, as an example: **DJ One, MC Two, Rapper Three**.  
How can I change it through RegEx to be **DJ One ft. MC Two & Rapper Three** where the two commas are replaced by "ft." and "&"?

Thanks for the huge help to everyone here!

OK, I kept looking online for an answer to my situation. I bumped into a line of RegEx code for "first occurrence on Stack Overflow". I replaced whatever character it had to a comma. It looks like this now: **^([^,]\*),**. However, I couldn't find a way to replace both occurrences at once (at least not yet). So, something tells me to combine that with a Replace Action. Well, it worked 🙃

You could try "Replace with regular expression"  
Search string: `(.*), (.*), (.*)`  
Replace string: `$1 & $2 ft. $3`
