omg! i totaly missed that my series have a series field completely missed that. yes the series field retains the info perfectly, buuuuuut i do want the series name and number in the {Title} field aswell.

and for your last question, i want to search and replace all my {Author(s)} that are in the Alan Dean Foster {Author(s)} format to be in the Foster, Alan Dean {Author(s)} format.

Search and Replace:

Alan Dean Foster {Author(s)} ---------> Foster, Alan Dean {Author(s)}

i just tried your search and replace code and it does nothing.

i can totally see the search and replace function as an extremely powerful tool, but i'm kinda scared to use it. back up time!!! also i'm hoping that there's a way to retain series name and number in the {Title} field without having to search and replace each and everytime i input a series.
