I'm sorry. Maybe I'm either being obtuse or unclear.

Can someone give me the exact expression that will take series data out of a custom column (Abbr Series (#abbrseries)) and map it to a title so that

Code:

Title:                                  Abbr Series:      Series:
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy        HGTTG [1]         Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy [1]
Persuader                               Reacher [7]       Jack Reacher [7]

yields title displays in my Kindle that look exactly like this:

Code:

HGTTG 01 - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Reacher 07 - Persuader

@charley - I'm getting tired of apologizing for my ignorance, but it looks like there's no end to it (my apologies and my ignorance). I don't understand what your post means, much less how to apply it to my problem. If what you're proposing would yield the results I'm looking for above, could you provide me with some additional color on how to do so?
