Basically I can do that with a Replace Action :

> **Original** : feat **Replace with** : feat.

I'd like to do that :

> **Original** : feat; FEAT; featuring; FEATURING; Featuring **Replace with** : feat.

But I don't know the correct syntax to add alternatives in the Original field What is it ?

Also should I tick the "case-sensitive comparision" option ?  
Thanks 🙂

You could use regular expressions instead:

Regex: (featuring|feat)  
Replace with: feat.  
Case **in** sensitive

"featuring" must come before "feat", or it will replace "featuring" with "feat.uring".

6 months later...  
Indeed... I had " **ALL**" instead of " **\_ALL**"
