> Looks like when I copied your string in, somehow an extra space got tagged on the end. Unfortunately, I've just applied this action to a load of tracks. Is there a way I can remove the trailing spaces from the end of Artist? Otherwise I have to go through them all manually to remove the additional spaces.

[/t/967/1](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/967/1)

or, in your case:

Converter: Tag-Tag or Action: Format Value  
Field: ARTIST  
Formatstring: $regexp(%artist%,\s+$,)
