Hello,
I would like to remove from all TITLE tags the following words,
(feat.\*)
Basically if the title field has any words that begin with feat and enclosed in parenthesis, i.e. (feat.\*)
then remove it.
I tried using the Actions to create a preset, Replace with Regular Expression,but I can't get it to work
Any help is appreciated

I guess this one is the swiss-army-knife for removing featuring 🙂

Thank you for the reply. I went to:
Actions-\> Replace with Regular Expression-\>Field: TITLE -\> Regular Expression: `$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({]?(?:ft\.?|feat\.?|featuring)\s+(?:[^][(){}]+)[])}]?(\s+.+)?$','$1$2',1)`
I run it but get no change. What I am doing wrong? 🙂

The `$regexp()` scripting function can be used with the converer "Tag - Tag" or an action "Format value" — both for field `TITLE`.
If you want to use an action "Replace with Regular Expression" you need to extract the expression (2nd parameter) and the replacement (3rd parameter) from the `$regexp()` call and put in in the appropriate configuration fields of the action.

I would like to create an action group to avoid extra steps. I would like to clean up also Album tags which sometimes have the (feat) in the field.
I can't manage to make it work as a regular expression. Could you please elaborate a little further?
