Create an action of the type "Format value"  
Format string: `$regexp('Artist, Artist1, Artist2, Artist3','(.*?), (.*)',$1 feat $2)`  
and then an action of the type "Replace"  
Search string: ,  
Replace string: `&`  
But does it make sense?  
What about Artists like  
Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich  
Earth, Wind & Fire  
Emerson, Lake and Palmer  
Bell, Book & Candle  
Blood, Sweat & Tears  
I Will, I swear

Thanks Ohrenkino.

Regex works but literally changes the artist's name to the word Artist.  
In relation to the artists you name I will not use the function with them.

As you did not mention in which field you wanted to change that string, I assumed that you knew what you were doing.  
You would have to substitute  
`'Artist, Artist1, Artist2, Artist3'`  
with the correct field variable name

The field is an artist.  
Would the function look like this?

$regexp('%artist%,'(._?), (._)',$1 feat $2)

The Result is only the word: %artist%  
🙄

Too few apostrophes or too many.

> [@cordobaweb](#):
>

should be  
`$regexp(%artist%,'(. *?), (.* )',$1 feat $2)`
