I have searched the archives and got all sorts of answers and I am totally confused
The answers that I understood didn't work and I am confused by (.*) (.*) and /2 /1 etc.... which also didn't seem to work?
I have existing author's names (I am NOT adding them) in my library, for instance
Firstname Lastname (I assume this is the one Calibre prefers?)
Lastname Firstname
Lastname, Firstname
Larstname Firstname (yes, misspelled)
How do I rename all the incorrect forms to the correct form (the first?)? In one or many steps? How do I format the Search and Replace correctly?
Please assume I am a complete newbie so assume nothing in your response
