Hi and welcome hoi!

FROM:
Anne Murray - You Needed Me
Diem Thu - Hay De Mua Roi
Thanh Tung - Van Hat Loi Tinh Yeu
Tu Qinh - Pho Bien

TO:
You Needed Me .Anne Murray
Hay De Mua Roi .Diem Thu
Van Hat Loi Tinh Yeu .Thanh Tung
Pho Bien .Tu Qinh

USE e.g. Rearrange Rule:
Rearrange Rule: Split by delimiters " - ", New pattern "$2 .$1" (skip extension)

Explanation:
- Split string into two parts at " - ", store the matches into var $1 and $2
- Create the New Pattern by reorder those stored parts to "$2 .$1", and add the space and dot yourself.

Note: Quote " " are only used for clarification. Don't use them in real.

Hi hoi,

if i use
Rearrange Rule: Split by delimiters " - ", New pattern "$2 .$1" (skip extension)

on your examples, i get your -Wanted.

If you really use this rule as shown, you will get

-Wanted
You Needed Me .Anne Murray

and not
You Needed Me . Anne Murray

I do not see your problem.
Maybe post an link to an screen shot for clarifying.

So the challenge was

FROM:
" Anne Murray - You Needed Me.ext"

TO:
"You Needed Me .Anne Murray.ext"

Solved? Fine.
