[masp]

Hi, I've been using the "search and replace" (bulk edit) dialog with no problems for, but suddenly hit an unexpected behaviour. I'm using "authors" as my search field, and (my custom, multiple-value field) "editors" as destination. I want to copy a subset of the authors in each book as editors. e.g.:

authors: jim (ed) & bob & bill (ed) => editors: bill & jim

I tried the following regexps:

(.+?) \(ed\)
^(.+?) \(ed\)$

but in every case I'm seeing *all* authors copied, e.g.:

authors: jim (ed) & bob & bill (ed) => editors: bill & bob & jim

I can't figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks! Mike
