Hello i want to move the text in the parenthesis "Ft. James Blake) and move it to the artist field and leave everything else in place.
for example I want to change:
Artist: Beyonce
Title : Forward (Ft. James Blake)
and change it to:
Artist: Beyonce Ft. James Blake
Title : Forward
I've read through the thread and saw that you helped others but when I applied your script, it would either copy EVERYTHING over from the title field or move everything over. I just want to MOVE the info as I outline in my text.

Please show us the function that you used, perhaps even with a screenshot (as every character counts)
This thread has a whole bunch of suggestions for the problem:

How could '` feat.`' in your Format string match your current '` Ft.` ' in the TITLE field?

Your Format string is searching if '` feat.` ' occurs in TITLE.
Where exactly do you find this string in `Forward (Ft. James Blake)`?

It's the same problem.
There is no space Feat dot in
`Burn (Feat. Meek Mill)...`
There is only a
space opening bracket Feat dot space.
Your search has to exactly match for every character.

Please:
What could you do, if your search string does not match your content?

Try an action of the type Guess value
Source format: `%artist% $regexp(%title%,'(.*) \((.*)\)',$2==$1)`
Guessing pattern: `%artist%==%title%`

May we reset because I feel like we are getting off track. Please lets reset.
Can you assist me with creating a script that will accomplish the following?
for example I want to change:
Artist: Beyonce
Title : Forward (Ft. James Blake)
and change it to:
Artist: Beyonce Ft. James Blake
Title : Forward

Ohrenkino
the script you provided worked. THANK YOU.
now is there any way I can adjust the script so the (Instrumental) stays in the title so end the end the it will be artist: Big Sean feat. E.40 and in the title it will remain "IDFW (instrumental)

I would filter for files that have now Instrumental in the artist, remove the string there and add it back to the title.
Also, I would consider to unify all the variation of `Featuring Feat. Ft. featuring feat. ft.` with just 1 string part.
And then I would move the bits around. Makes it much simpler than to cater for every exception in every action.

Ohrenkino can you break down what each part of the script does. I'd like to modify it.
