regular expression in tagUpdate

Quote:@ARTIST=John Eliot Gardiner, The Monteverdi Choir
=ARTIST=The Monteverdi Choir
+CONDUCTOR=John Eliot Gardiner

Question: Is it possible to use regular expressions or something like that for tag rewriting? An example would be:

Quote:@ARTIST=#1, #2
=ARTIST=#2
+CONDUCTOR=#1

which would have the same result as above, but not only for Mr. Gardiner.

This isn't possible.

Quote:Background: I've LOTS of tagged classical music for which no conductor, orchestra and soloists tags are used, but ARTIST is composed of [CONDUCTOR] ", " [ORCHESTRA] "(" [SOLOISTS] ")". A rewriting rule such as

Quote:@ARTIST=#1, #2 ( #3 )
=ARTIST=#2
+CONDUCTOR=#1
+SOLOISTS=#3

would be very handy


Thanks in advance, Hafer

You can use tag formattting to do this.
