What would be the formula if I wanted to take all words after the artist in the "Album Artist" Field example would be "Daft Punk Ft. Pharrell Williams & Nile Rodgers" needs to read only "Daft Punk" in the "Album Artist" field.

Try an action of the type "Replace with regular expression for ALBUMARTIST  
Search string: `\s+Ft.*`  
Replace string:  
(leave empty)  
The action basically removes everything starting with a possible space and the letters F and t.  
If no match is found for this, everything stays the same.
