Hi,

I have three-part filenames: Booknumber---title---author.

Using the Test feature on the Adding Books window, I can successfully parse the filenames into Series (or Comments), Title, and Author using this:

(?P<series>.+)---(?P<title>.+)---(?P<author>[^_]+)

However, when actually importing, only the Title and Author are added to the record. The import refuses to add the booknumber in the series or comment columns. I actually wanted to get the booknumber into a custom columm, but tried existing columns to see if I was even doing it right.

I'd sure appreciate a little advice. Thanks in advance!
