Silvercat17 · 11-15-2018, 11:24 PM

I've got a ton of old pulp magazine scans and some of the filenames have dates. I'm sure there's a way to use the regular expression function in bulk metadata edit to pull out the publication date, but I can't figure it out.

Example file names:
Thrilling Wonder Stories v19n03 (1941-03)
Future Science Fiction #28 (12-1955)
(I'm assuming I'd have to do month-first and year-first separately)

Suggestions?

Thanks.
