Artist name in audio file

Can Any tell me how to move "The" in artist name to the end of artist name separated by a comma bearing in mind that some have more then one word in there name.
Example: The Everly Brothers - All I Have To Do Is Dream.mp3 would be changed to Everly Brothers, The - All I Have To Do Is Dream.mp3 and
The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me.mp3 would be changed to Drifters, The - Save The Last Dance For Me.mp3.

Thank you

First of all,
There is "Help and Support" section for such questions.

Use regex rule:
expression: The\s(.+)\s?-\s?(.+)
replace: $1, The - $2

I have no time to check if it will work correctly. If not, try to remove "?" signs from expression.

Regular Expressions are not as hard to understand as you may think. Check ReNamer's manual or nice Regular Expressions tutorial for more info and start to use full power of applications that use them (like ReNamer, Mp3Tag and so on).

Thanks, that worked perfectly.
Sorry I broke the rules. It will never happen again.
Have a good day,
