Little Help with Metadata from Filename needed

Hi everybody,

i want to import some series of ebooks.
So far have a almost working Regex:
(?P<series>[^_]+) - book (?P<series_index>[0-9]*) - (?P<author>[^_-]+) - (?P<title>.[^_]+)

the Filename would be: Seriesname - booknr 0000 - bookauthor - booktitle

The thing which is not working properly ist the number.
Instead of importing four digits to Series index I always end up with two digits divided by a dot.

I.e. instead of 0007 it imports 7.0

I have found this: {series_index:0>3s} in another thread, but i always get errors when trying using it.

Hope thats somebody got an Idea, because for my opinion calibre is the most usefull ebooktool around and i would really like to use it.

Thanks a lot

PL

I suspect everything is working exactly as it should. In Calibre the series is now stored in the form x.xx. This was introduced as a result of many requests to allow books to be inserted in series between the existing entries.

Hello itimpi,

thanks for the fast response.

That makes sense.

Is there still a way to fill up the first three digits to have a numbering like 0000.0 ?
I have tried multiple [0-9] but this have no effect.



Best regards
PL

I do not believe so when storing the values in the Calibre metadata.

It is possible to get the leading zeroes added when using the "Save To Disk" option. I remember it being mentioned in another thread, but I cannot remember exactly how it was done.
