Hi,

Upon importing large amounts of books in Calibre, I get to a point where I would like to clean titles and authors, examples are:
- replace underscores by spaces
- remove series information from the title
- remove author information from the title

I know about the regular expression thing in the import, but that would require to export first and re-import again. More over, it does not help when importing metadata within the ebook itself.

Is within calibre anything available to search and replace within titles.
