In that case you can do it a lot easier with the "Automatically fill values" tool in the properties dialog. Set Source to "Other", the format to "%artist%" and the pattern to "%% %artist%". (Note: The pattern is not title formatting code.)CODE
$substr(%artist%,$strchr(%artist%,' ')+1,$len(%artist%))
