regex Issue when Importing

river · 06-14-2009, 10:13 AM

Hi there, first post....

Firstly, thankyou to Kovid Goyal for his work

I'm using calibre version 0.5.14, with the regular expression of '(?P<author>[^_]+) - (?P<title>.+) ?'

However during import my pdf's are always given a TITLE of 'Author - Title'

I found an old ticket describing this issue exactly, but it says fixed 13 months ago. (link: http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/662)

Any ideas, i'm definitely on the latest version.

Many Thanks, river.

I checked the ticket again and it says 'added to trunk'.
Does this mean it's fixed in the latest 0.5.x version?

I'm trying to do my first import but for all my pdf's it get's the title wrong

Use the preferences to tell calibre to read metadata from the filename instead of the file itself.

Remove the ' ?' at the end.
