Furthermore, I have been poking around for a few hours just KNOWING that my question has been asked and answered before but I am just not finding the right section of the faq / thread in the forum.
I am posting as a continuation of this thread because it is the one I found most relevant to my question although it does head in a different direction.
Using the example provided:
john smith..
j smith - book 1
j smith - book 2
j smith & john doe - book 3
How do I parse just the first author (j smith) in a custom column / field?
Thank you in advance for any advise / suggestions you may provide. I will go to sleep now hoping that I wake up to read the "doh" response to my mangled query.

I could not figure it out
I think something is odd is happening with Author.
Side note: you will need to populate your single author column for every Author and use a Template with that field to build your 'save to...' output
