Hello,
Any
help solving this problem would be greatly appreciated -- I've been pulling out my gray hair for the last few days.
When I used the above regex and others I have found on this forum:
1. (?P<author>.+?) - (?:\[(?P<series>.+?) ?(?P<series_index>[\d\.]{1,4})?\]) - (?P<title>.+)
2. ^((?P<author>([^\_0-9]+)(?=\s*-\s*)(?!\s*-\s*[0-9.]+)|\b))(\s*-\s*)?((?P<series>[^0-9\-]+) ([-#] ?)?(?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)?\s*-\s*)?(?P<title>.+)
3. (?P<author>[a-zA-Z'. ]+?) - \[?((?P<series>[a-zA-Z' ]+) (?P<series_index>[0-9\.]+)\]? - )?(?P<title>[^\.]+).*
I have the following results (using 'Piers Anthony - Incarnations of Immortality 05 - Being a Green Mother.epub' as an EXAMPLE):
Attachment 1. --
Add dialog (with DEFAULT settings) with regex test -- results display
correct parsing.
Attachment 2. -- any series ebook added into calibre with
INCORRECT results, i.e. series preceded title and series NOT inserted into series field.
I've tried this with several different regex using the lastest version of calibre (0.8.36) and have the same incorrect results.
Could I have some incorrect setting in calibre?
TIA!!
