Search & Replace :help:
Relatively new to Calibre (about a year and I now finally have time to dig into it). Currently own a Nook (original). I have imported 566 books into Calibre (all in ePub with about 1/2 coming from Sony (prior reader) and 1/2 from various online bookstores & BN). I have read the Calibre search & replace instructions and am still not certain it can do what I need
1. Remove all series information from all books. 2. All other changes to be made in Title field: Current title field format: BOOK TITLE (BOOK SERIES NAME then #_) Some of my series are going beyond #9 and #10 and after do not sort properly in this format. I would like to do the following (in this order). I have tested this change and it then does sort properly and display properly on the unit: a. Move everything between the () to before the BOOK TITLE b. Remove all () c. Search and replace: "space#" with "_[underscore]" This allows the series numbers above 9 to sort properly (instead of 1,10,11 etc) I have started manually making these changes in each book's metadata but would like to avoid making 566 individual changes. Any help would be much appreciated! |
