I've started keeping info on awards in tags and initially was keeping the year and category in separate tags but now I've decided I'd rather keep one tag.

Here's an example of the tags I have:

Code:

Hugo2015, HugoNovel

I'd like to turn that into:

Code:

Hugo-2015-Novel

If could work on the string "Hugo2015, HugoNovel" I'd be done already but Calibre seems to only let me work on these two strings separately, "Hugo2015" and "HugoNovel" and so I can't combine them with a regex.

Is there a simple-ish solution?

PS. I know about custom columns but don't wish to use them.

PPS. If there's a simple way to merge tags so I'd end up with "Hugo2015-HugoNovel" or even "Hugo2015HugoNovel" then that would be fine and I can regex from there.
