hi im trying to add all my books to calibre however i have my directories set up as
eg.
Drive\books\Author\series\series# - Title
c:\books\anthony, piers\xanthe\01 - A spell for chameleon
i have found a default string in the add books section of the setting:
(?P<author>[^_-]+) -?\s*(?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[0-9]*)\s*-\s*(?P<title>[^_].+) ?

using this string i get
Title: A spell for chameleon
author: Anthony, Piers\xanth\01

what i want is
Title: a spell for chameleon
Author: Anthony piers
Series: xanth
Series number: 01

ne ideas how to get this??
