How would I accomplish this file name adjustment?

I have a few files like this...
Artist Name - Song Title - Remix Artist.mp3
I want to remove the second dash, the space following it, and enclose the Remix Artist in brackets, like this...
Artist Name - Song Title (Remix Artist).mp3
How might I go about doing this? Thank you as always!

That works great! Thank you for that. How about...
Song Title - Artist Name - Remix Artist.mp3
to
Artist Name - Song Title (Remix Artist).mp3
?
Thank you once again!

Once again, you guys rock.
One more I cannot figure out. I have a bunch of files reword by DJ "S"... however in my case changes I've somehow made DJ "S" in to DJ "s" and replace doesn't seem to want to let me make DJ "s" back into DS "S". I assume it's because it's not liking the " " marks.
Any ideas to get these back to the right capitalization?
Thanks!

Hi,
Not sure on this one, but Quotation marks " " are illegal / Reserved in Windows Os. You can use ' ' , not " ".
Are you on a different Os.

If they
look like "quotes", try copying them & pasting what you copied to be the Replace part of your 3:Replace.
As not everything that looks like quotes are "quotes". These are valid (& different):
- Code: Select all
This is a “test“.TXT
this is a “test”.TXT
