Dear All,

I have been looking aroung a bit and I have not found anything on how to add a published date in the adding book section.

Most of my books (actually research papers) have the following format:
Author - Year - Title
where Year is the year the article had been published.

I tried this as a regular expression in the Adding books - Configure metadata from file name
(?P<author>[^_]+) - (?P<pubdate>[^_]+) - (?P<title>.+)

But this is not working. I do get the author and title correctly but not the published date.

Can anyone help ?

Thank you
