Need help with a metadata search/replace "formula"
UPDATE: SOLVED as of post #3.
I still haven't figure this out on my own in one step, so... GOAL example: Series: Walkabout [1] Tags: a, b, c, d, e RESULT in Tags field after copy: PREFIX Walkabout, a, b, c, d, e Copy the Series name to Tags but add a PREFIX to the series name in the process. I believe I could do this in two steps using another custom column to add the prefix first then going from there to the Tags column. I'm looking to do this in one step. I still haven't figure out the /*- combos completely in batch search/replace. Last edited by jecilop; 12-17-2015 at 01:23 AM. Reason: UPDATE: SOLVED |

No need for an intermediate field.
Search Field: series Search for: (.+) Replace with: PREFIX \1 Destination field: tags Make sure you're in Search Mode: Regular expression, you have Mode: Append to Field or Prepend to Field, and Split Result checked. |
