So, I'm getting ready to add some books and I'm working on my regex and it's almost there but not quite right. Book filename format is as follows:

Stephen King - [The Shining #2] - Doctor Sleep (2013) [9781476727660].azw3

This is my regex

(?P<author>[^_-]+) -?\s*\[(?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[0-9]*)\] - (?P<title>[^_-]+) \((?P<published>[^_-]+)\) \[(?P<isbn>.+)\]

I'm getting matches on all my fields but I have one question.

My Series field shows: The Shining #

How can I remove that "#"? I feel like I did earlier but I forgot how.
