using my rule, as an example of what I don't understand (please remember that I am not a programmer, and this stuff is very new to me)
([{title} {series:|(| }{series_index:0>2s||)}] -> title)
The whole rule is included in opening and closing parens (but why isn't the second rule I cited enclosed in parens?)
I have the title of the book {title} in the metadata. If there is a series name, it goes next in a paren (do the pipes indicate a literal paren rather than the paren being used as part of the syntax?). that's the {series:|()} part.
next comes the series number. That's the {series_index:0>2s||)} part.
what does the 0>2s mean? I assume that it's saying that the series index has to be greater than 0, but I don't understand the 2s part.
and if I'm right that the pipes indicate a literal paren, shouldn't it be |)| rather than ||)?
and I'm not sure what the -> title part means, since the title of the book is included in the first statement.
Thanks!
