Thanks Starson17. Works as advertised. As you said id doesn't remove the periods on the title or publisher. Is that just not possible on file import? Is it possible on a bulk metadata search and replace?

My ultimate idea is t get all the info I can out of the file name and then let calibre do an internet lookup and hope it finds matches.

Again, thanks for the regex. Going to try and figure it out. I'm pretty impressed you could do the varaible title lengths. Not to surprised about the periods though as that's less of a grep and more of an edit. Hopefully the bulk metadata search and replace can do it.
