I realize this is a simple request and I have tried several different approaches. The frustrating thing is this use to work flawlessly until I upgraded to the current version (2.61a), I was several revisions out of date.

Replacing "\\" with "; "  
The example tag data would be "Mary Ann Kennedy\\Pam Rose\\Pat Bunch"  
The resulting tag data would be "Mary Ann Kennedy; Pam Rose; Pat Bunch"

I created an action using replace (regular expression) which shows as:

Regular expression "\_ALL:": "\\" -\> "; "

but it always returns formatted tags in 0 files and no changes are made. Even though "" is not listed as a special character, I have tried several variants to no success.

Assuming this was an installation issue I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success.

Thanks in advance for the help!
