@taratears - you'll need to use a regular expression (re), which allow you do pattern matching. You need to select Regular Expression in Search Mode in Bulk Edit Search and Replace.

Here is the re doco that's applicable to calibre ==>> 7.2. re — Regular expression operations

Suggest you invest a bit of time becoming familiar with re - at least to the point where you have a notion of what it is, how to frame a question, and comprehend (vaguely mayhap) an answer. There's lots of 'stuff' on the 'net on regular expressions

Hint - \d+$

Please heed the warnings and use the test area
