I'm having trouble with a piece of my coding, it used to work, I'm sure, or else I'm going mad.

If ships contains a platonic relationship such as 'Fili & Kili' I want to split this into just the characters 'Fili, Kili'.
So I have
ships=>(.*) (amp;|&) (.*)=>\1\,\2

I've tried this in add_to_replace_metadata and in replace metadata and it still pulls through as 'Fili & Kili'.
