Question How to change Author metadata from LN,FN to FN LN?

I have 30+ books in a library that have Author metadata entered as Last Name comma First Name. I want to change these to FN LN with no comma.

I found a post which reads:
Quote:
You can use Bulk Mode Search and Replace to select in author_sort: (.+) and replace in the authors: \1
I've used bulk replace for simple text replacement, but do not understand how to use .+ as the post says.. Can anyone provide more detail or an example?

Is there an easier way to do this? Thanks
