Hi,

Please tell me what action is required to remove the "comma" form the artist field, when the "comma" is the last character of the field.

Example: Donna Summer,

```
                         to
               Donna Summer

```

Thanks!

Create an action of the type "Replace with regular expression" for ARTIST  
Search string: ,$  
Replace string:  
(leave empty)

It should - at least it works on my machine with your specification.

So check the search string - no blanks in front of the comma.  
And check if the comma is really the last character and not an (invisible) blank ...  
Or expand the search string to:  
, $

> Example: Donna Summer, to Donna Summer

**Action: "Format value" Feld: ARTIST Formatstring: $trimRight(%ARTIST%,',') From: 'Donna Summer,' To : 'Donna Summer'**

If there is also one or more space character at the right side of the given string, then apply this ...

**Action: "Format value" Feld: ARTIST Formatstring: $trimRight(%ARTIST%,', ') ... or Formatstring: $trimRight(%ARTIST%,' ,') From: 'Donna Summer, ' To : 'Donna Summer' From: 'Donna Summer , , ,,, ,,,, ,' To : 'Donna Summer'**
