Sorry, I know this type of question has been addressed in several threads, but it looks like everyone wants to do the opposite of what I want to do.
I found a code and made it work - mostly. I can't get the end parenthesis after the last artist.
Here is what I am using
```
%ARTIST%$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({<]?\s*(?:featuring|feat\.?|ft\.?)\s*([^])}>]+)\>\s*[])}>]?(.*)$',' (feat. $2$3+++$1',1)
```
before
**Artist:** Blu & Exile
**Title:** Maybe One Day (feat. Black Spade)
after
**Artist:** Blu & Exile (feat. Black Spade)
**Title:** Maybe One Day
Also, "feat. ARTIST" should always be surrounded by ()
before
**Artist:** Daft Punk
**Title:** Get Lucky (Daft Punk Remix) [feat. Pharrell Williams]
after
**Artist:** Daft Punk (feat. Pharrell Williams)
**Title:** Get Lucky (Daft Punk Remix)
Thanks for your help!

I haven't played with it, but one thing I see right away is that you need to escape the square brackets within your character sets.
Change
[[({\<] to [[({\<]
[^])}\>] to [^])}\>]
[])}\>] to [])}\>]

## You don't need that. All of these brackets are placed in a way that they don't need escaping.
Just add the parenthisis in the replacement part after $2 or $3:
(feat. $2$3**)**+++$1',1)

Perfect! It's working well now. Thanks for the assistance.
Here's my finished solution:
**Action type**
Guess values
**Source format**
`%ARTIST%$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({<]?\s*(?:featuring|feat\.?|ft\.?)\s*([^])}>]+)\>\s*[])}>]?(.*)$',' (feat. $2$3)+++$1',1)`
**Guessing pattern**
`%ARTIST%+++%TITLE%`

😆 Thanks GREAT WORK to all the ppl that made and revised this code.
(i take no credit).
Now by doing a simple switching of the code you supplied its possible to send the ... (feat. XX) info to any other field such as sending it from the ARTIST field to the TITLE field.
**move '(feat. XX)' from ARTIST to TITLE**
**Action Type:**
Guess Value
**Source Format:**
%TITLE%$regexp(%ARTIST%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({\<]?\s\*(?:featuring|feat.?|ft.?)\s\*([^])}\>]+)\>\s\*[])}\>]?(.\*)$',' (feat. $2$3)+++$1',1)
**Guessing Pattern:**
%TITLE%+++%ARTIST%
**OR**
**move '(feat. XX)' from TITLE to ARTIST**
**Action Type:**
Guess Value
**Source Format:**
%ARTIST%$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?)\s+[[({\<]?\s\*(?:featuring|feat.?|ft.?)\s\*([^])}\>]+)\>\s\*[])}\>]?(.\*)$',' (feat. $2$3)+++$1',1)
**Guessing Pattern:**
%ARTIST%+++%TITLE%
