Hmmm - I still miss a few steps here. I have a similar issue - my titles contain the ISBN number, followed by a period and then publisher (followed by a period - and btw in my case the publisher can have from one to four words), Title (again any combination of words, each word followed by a period) and Date (followed by a period).
All I'd like to do is to extract the ISBN number from the tile and copy it to the identifier/isbn field - so that I can then do an automatic bulk download of metadata and covers.
Can somebody please explain how to do that? Here's what I tried: Edit Metadata|Search and replace; search mode=regex, search field=title, search for=??[sthg like your regex expression I presume]; replace with [how do I JUST get the ACTUAL isbn# here]; destination field identifier|isbn...
Thanks a bunch in advance!
