And the Search and Replace tab in Bulk (select multiple books) Metadata Edit can find patterns using Regular Expressions which can be replaced or removed - S&R specs can be saved with a name for later reuse. Be careful with this, there's no undo - make sure you have a backup of the library. I use a Test library if I'm uncertain.

Thank you for your reply, guess we found an interesting new possible improvement for Calibre: the Undo button ! If you can do almost anything with this software why isn't it an option yet? Btw, I found very interesting the Quality Check plugin, I'm pretty sure it doesn't what I wanted to do but it does... some other things that will be very useful I guess.

Just for checking, do you think I could find and clean some text in bulk from the book titles with a "regular expression" (new term for me), with the s&r? Something it's not too complicated and easy to set? (and not too risky maybe, but I will make some try before checking it in my library, of course, thanks for suggesting it)
