@ Dalton, I appreciate the work put in on CALM and I tried it a couple of times, but the documentation and forum help was too confusing/scattered for me and I'm not sure it would ultimately give me my desired result. Thank you though.

@all, for now, I'd like to get the specific regex working for copying/replacing words in a list like 'private investigator', 'private investigators', 'Private Investigator (+1)'.

General goal:
Basically my books come from multiple sources but mainly amazon. Genre metadata is not being filled even though I think I activated it for Goodreads (separate thing for more exploring). The publishers and sellers just dump everything into the 'tags' field anyway.

I have 2 custom columns for the task. One column is a tag-browser set of preferred genre cagegories's that I can also edit manually (#genre). and the other a composite column I'm trying to map commonly-used tags to (#genre_from_tags). My #genre column is a 'text, as tags' format and #genre_from_tags is built from other columns using the template langauge (GPL).
