Hi again,

Ignore the above - there's some errors in what I've written and I've found a way to get the isbn from the above examples. For anyone interested the expression is

(?P<isbn>.+?)\.(?P<title>.+)

Just note that this does not separate the whole filename out - it puts the isbn in isbn and everything after that in the title. I'm sure someone more skilled than me could sort out the publisher and published date but for what I need it for it does the job for me.

Happy calibre'ing!
