Regexp for series in books library

Hi,

I want to bulk rename a list of books with the following naming pattern:


Quote:
Series_name series_number - book_title

so I select the list and in bulk metadata I set a regexp to grab in title:


Quote:
(.*) - .*
and then I set destination either series or series index to


Quote:
\1

therefore in the sample part I see it works as:


Quote:
series_name series_number

but doesn't actually write the metadata.

I could do the same by enabling series in the basic metadata section but not all the series titles are in my collection, maybe I have from 1-20 and then 24-40 so if i make it the basic way it autoadds the 24-40 as 21-36 , that's why I wanted to use the regexp in search and replace.

Could anyone help me?
