Thanks kovidgoyal ..

I think setting the value from inside identify.py would give more ways for updating the values.

But since it seems difficult, I tried setting the value to publisher as you suggested. To keep original publisher data, I separated them by a '#' and updated also the identify.py to handle (merge) the new format. All is good.

Now, in bulk search and replace, i use "(.+)#(.+)" to move 2nd group to genre column. The problem is it also moves the value if it doesn't contain '#' separator!

How to move the 2nd group from publisher field to genre field only if the '#' exists ?

Thanks
