I've a large collection of books in Calibre that has the 'author' name displayed in the 'serie' field. Too many to do a manual selection.
Hence I'm looking for a search and replace expression that can check the author name from the 'author' field against the text in the 'serie' field and replace or remove that particular string from the 'serie' field.
