General Program Template

[StevieCoops]

Can someone help me get this template into GPT format for Save to Disc

{author_sort:re(.,.,.):sublist(0,1,&)}/{series} {series_index:| [|] -} {title} ({pubdate}) /{title} - {authors}

It should remove periods at the end of Author_Sort as well as name the folder with only the first author

Here is what you want... I was looking for the same thing and found it in a few different posts

{author_sort:'sublist(re($, '\.', ''),0,1,'&')'}/{series} {series_index:| [|] -} {title} ({pubdate}) /{title} - {authors:re($, '\.', '')}

Example of output

for An Oblique Approach, Belisarius series 1 by David L. Drake & Eric Flint

Drake, David L/Belisarius [1] - An Oblique Approach (pub date)/An Oblique Approach - David L Drake & Eric Flint.epub

Slight precision: the above template uses template program mode, not general program mode. In this case it is a good solution, but it wouldn't work properly if any of the function arguments were themselves template references.

I tried that but still got EXCEPTION: Incorrect number of arguments for function re
