Here's the story link that did not work: link |
By commenting out each
ships line that could effect it, I determined it's the line:
Code:
ships=>(?:^|(?<=/))([^ ,:]+)[^/]*(?=/|$)=>\1
Looking at it for a bit (and experimenting with it longer), I think this expression is intended to generically strip each part of a
ships entry down to first name only. (When using complex regexp, it's a good idea to put a comment nearby explaining what they do. For all their power regexp are not terribly readable.)
But it doesn't work with & separated ships, or with ' / ' (note the spaces) separated ships. Nor does it play nicely with
sort_ships:true.
Instead, use:
Code:
replace_metadata:
## strip each ships char down to first name only.
ships_CHARS=>^([^ ]+).*$=>\1
That way you can remove a lot of the
ships lines you have.
But only after getting the new test version, because along the way with figuring this out I found that ships_CHARS and sort_ships_splits didn't work together correctly. So:

- Fix so ships_CHARS and sort_ships_splits work together. Also add default sort_ships_splits that includes & separated ships.
