I don't understand this and can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

files names:

Anastacia - I'm Outta Love.avi
Anderson, John - Black Sheep.avi

I want to take both files and apply a token move so that it will only affect the one with the , so basically it would end up doing the following:

move Anderson, John to John Anderson
leave Anastacia - I'm Outta Love.avi as is since there is no ,

However I am getting:

- Anastacia I'm Outta Love.avi (WRONG)
John Anderson - Black Sheep.avi (CORRECT)

Why is it moving the - being moved over?

I am setting Replacer as 
Find , and Replace with nothing

I am setting Token Mover as 
Token seperator string with a space
Token number to move: 1
Places to move: 1

Nowhere in there is a - being touched so why would Anastacia change?

A way to do it can be:

Use formatter with: 
<token:2,#44;,0,0,<token:1,-,0,0,<file-name>>> <token:1,#44;,0,0,<token:1,-,0,0,<file-name>>> - <token:2,-,0,0,<file-name>>

With some tweaking that seems to have worked.  But the other files all throw an error that I just ignore.  Is that what is supposed to happen?

Thanks.
