Hi I am very confussed and have tried verythign but for the love of me I cannot work out how to remove a + from my file name. IE my Filename is A+Gift+of+Love+feat+Fedde+La+Grange.

All I want to do is use the tag function and copy the Filename above to the Artist Columb replacing the + with a space ?

Can anyone help me please.

Thank you

Field:  
**\_FILENAME**  
... or ...  
Field:  
**ARTIST**

 

Format string:  
**$replace(%\_FILENAME%,'+',' ')**
