Req13 · 12-18-2022, 01:19 AM

I have been trying to figure out how to use the saving books to disk template.

When I save a book that is named something like:

Mark Twain - Anthologies: How Many Are There?

I would like to replace the colon with a semicolon and remove the question mark so that it comes out as this:

Mark Twain - Anthologies; How Many Are There

Is there a way to achieve that? This is all I've been able to work out so far.

Code:

Replace ? with nothing

{authors} - {title:re(\?,)}
--------------------------------------------------------
Replace ? and : with nothing

{authors} - {title:re(\?|\:,)}
--------------------------------------------------------
Replace : with ;

{authors} - {title:re(:,;)}

I'd also like to possibly add to it if I need to change other special characters to something other than an underscore.

Thanks for any help.
