Thanks for moving it to the appropriate forum
Yes there are tools out there that help you build a regex expression, and I have looked at kodos and some others but it would nice to do it within Calibre, because it is a pain reordering the fields and getting the syntax right, with the brackets in place, ensuring it's still flexible etc.
Like this one I use for the main part:
Code:
^(?P<author>[^-]+)(\s*-\s*(\[?(?P<series>[^-0-9]+)\s*(?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)?]?)?)?.*?-\s*(?P<title>[^\]{[()]+\w)
Matches a fair bit, but if i want to reorder the fields it escapes me what I should move where...
But I will play around with those builders anyways and see if they can assist for now
Cheers
