MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Adding books, conditional file name matching

cwdavi1 · 02-16-2012, 10:22 AM

I'm new to this forum, pardon me if this is covered somewhere but I couldn't find it. I've fumbled out how to do most of the things I want to with Calibre but I'm stumped on adding books where some have a series and others don't. I have an re that correctly parses each one but can't come up with one that will correctly parse both.

Example file names:

Alisa Sheckley - Abra Barrow 2 - Moonburn.epub
Alice Sebold - Lovely Bones, The.epub

Obviously I want the first parsed as <author> <series> <series_index> <title>
and the second as <author> <title> with NULL <series> and <series_index>.

I will greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you,

Wayne Davis
