It is my considered opinion that pictures reveal often more than words, however, always they may serve to illustrate.

Optionality / longer inputs or not: The Test result in line Your test should show a correct result even it is the unwanted one.

(New example pics (Homer) for demonstration reasons.)

(.+) + \1 (GE) + Append to field

Acurate Test results is what you want. No unintended side effects showing

I don't know what are unintended side effects. If the final (processed) result is wrong any u.s.effects are unimportant.

I thought the OP wanted just to add a suffix

Right, I wanted to add something, let's call it suffix (or adjunct). By name: (GE)

To be Honest ,
Why setting the Language to De is not the proper way for the German version?
(US English only reader <Some of the UK versions terms lose me>)

In my library there are books of different original languages but mostly translated to German. To see at first glance that a book with a German title isn't a originally in German written book I add (GE).

Let me present the advantages.

Ilias in 2 languages
It shows at a glance the Ilias in original language (without adjunct) and a translated version: Ilias (GE)

My calibre interface is German in order to understand you better in the forum if there is made reference to calibre interfaces.

Partly you are right. But see


(.+) + (GE) + Append to field

There are (unwanted) commas in the Books -> Test results. Take also attention to the Your test result, a single (GE).

I don't know (I set language too, and if I would like to see at a glance I would use column coloring or if I want to see int in the reader I would add the suffix in the plugboard, but everybody has his/her way).

I admit to have considered the matter only under the premise of an adjunct. Column coloring or add the suffix in the plugboard you could represent a broad to show advantages. What's with this 'plugboard' idea right now I do not understand.

And sorry if it irritates you that it says OK if the search/replacement expression is right, when it is.

I see and be amazed. Either you make your CUT Wizard all respect or I see for nothing but results (let it be in tests, replacements, finals, searches or whereever) nothing anymore.

Fact is that only (. +) + \ 1 (GE) + Replace field results correctly so far.
In itself this would be enough. But it seems me that you yourselves still disagree about the different options. If such exist at all.
I look foreward to supply you with any Homer example images only the combinations for the Edit meta information window must be provided.
