domax · 10-27-2015, 01:59 PM

a) I have a great number of ebooks with series in title, but wenn I try to put them in Calibre with this regex:

(?P<author>[^_-]+) -?\s*(?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[0-9]*)\s*-\s*(?P<title>[^_].+) ?

I get some faults. First with double names like Jane Miller-Mitch, then Mitch is put in series. Calibre should search vor ( - ).

b) In Calibre I want to search vor german special vocals (=Umlauten) like ö, ä or ü. Or i want to find words like neü. Sorry, but i Can't manage this. Would you please help me?

Thanks
