Hi,

I am very new to this, so apologies if I come across a little naive ![:rolleyes:](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/1X/3a79e8b0b7d169b30216785521d7c6f4f895c421.gif ":rolleyes:")

I have already searched this forum and tried my best to do what I need, but I've hit a brick wall and was hoping one of you kind people can help?

Ok, what I am hoping to achieve...?

To rename/replace all the following text within all of the fields

Featuring.  
Featuring  
featuring.  
featuring  
Feat.  
Feat  
feat.  
feat  
Ft.  
Ft  
(Featuring. XYZ)  
(Featuring XYZ)  
(Feat. XYZ)  
(Feat XYZ)  
(feat XYZ)  
(Ft. XYZ)  
(Ft XYZ)

to...

**(feat. XYZ)**

EXAMPLE

**BEFORE**  
FILENAME: Singer1 Feat Singer2 - Song  
TITLE: Song  
ARTIST: Singer1 Feat Singer2

**AFTER**  
FILENAME: Singer1 (feat. Singer2) - Song  
TITLE: Song  
ARTIST: Singer1 (feat. Singer2)

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks DetlevD

I think I have found what works for me, which is as follows:

Action: Replace with regular expression  
Field: TITLE  
Regular expression: `\(ft\. | ft\. | ft | f\. | \(featuring | featuring | \(feat\. | \(feat | feat\. | feat`  
Replace matches with: `(feat.`

Filterstring: ARTIST HAS " Feat. "

Action: "Format value"  
Field: ARTIST  
Formatstring: `$replace(%ARTIST%,' Feat. ',' (Feat. ')')'`

Then finally... TAG \> FILENAME

😃
