nickmik123 · 07-05-2018, 06:29 PM

I have a number of books that have the following naming methodology or something similar to it: Romer D. Advanced Macroeconomics (MGH, 1996)(T)(ISBN 0070536678)(T)(550s) GK - Unknown. What RegEx code could be used to either 1) edit metadata in bulk by search in title and apply to identifier or 2) re-importing the books with the appropriate settings so that Calibre looks for the ISBN in the document title? Would the simplest solution be to rename all the files outside Calibre just to the ISBN, since I can do this quickly, and then re-import (I'm guessing the RegEx is less complicated for this)?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
