Bulk Metadata edit: Search and replace tab
This is where you can Trim/Move/modify field contents in bulk
You can write a REGEX to match the current data pattern and apply it
Just remember, some kinds of changes will take 3 or 4 passes to reach the end results.

Repeat book selection loop for each new pattern

You can save your searches if you think you will need them later.

BACKUP YOUR LIBRARY before starting. If things go wrong (bulk changes can be dangerous, fast ) , a restore might be needed. There is no other UNDO
