Hi there.

I am trying to find all the books in my calibre library that have the surname, then a comma, then the first name.

I have tried the following in the Advanced Search window. I select Regular Expression, and then in the drop down menu I select authors and then in the field I type:

[\w],\s[\w]

I have also tried [A-Za-Z], [A-Za-z]

and hit return. But this does not work.

Can someone please tell me how to achieve this?

Thank you.
