Format: ePub
Device: Kobo
Source Template: {series:re(([^\s])[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
Destination Field: title
What this does is automatically retitle a book as is it transferred to the Kobo based on the Series, the number of the book in the series, and the title of the book.
The series name is "shortened" so that Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams, book 3 in the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy appears on my Kobo as THGttG - 03 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Books without a series info do not get massaged.
This way, when I sort books by Title on the Kobo, all books in the series appear together. |
thanks a million; i've been searching for a useful way to do this and here it is. thanks again
here's a quick question, will this work with the format set to any?
