Incanus · 03-11-2019, 08:03 AM

Hello:

I'd like some help with regular expressions. I'm attempting to create two custom fields:

Calibre's Authors field may contain many authors, but I need to create a "First Author" custom field with the first Author of the Authors field
Having that, I need a custom field that gives me the initial letter of the "First Author"'s name (not the first letter of the "First Author" last name )

Awaiting your kind reply,

[INCANUS]
