Deleting AO3's junk characters
I've recently been going through my personal ini to clean it up. I've been working on the categories (fandoms) and characters for both FFN and AO3. Unfortunately, AO3 lets the author put anything in the character slots. I downloaded 135 stories and now have 70 characters that I consider junk (ex: and some more).
I've asked about getting rid of these characters before and received this code:
characters=>^.*?(|Anime/Manga|Book.LOTR.Aragorn <Estel-Strider>)$=>\1
But that isn't working. It seems to be erasing all the characters, even the ones I want to keep.
Most of the code for editing characters is under default, as I want it to be used for all sites. However, as AO3 is the only site that needs to have junk characters deleted, I placed that code under the testing site in the Personal ini. Should I place it under the default settings with the rest of the code?
Also, I'm hoping to tweak the code so that it can look for keywords at the beginning of each character (Book|Cartoon|Movie|etc) and then delete any that don't match.
Is there any code I can use or do I need to delete those junk characters manually?
