Wow, thank you! With next to no comprehension of what I'm doing, I tried that on two titles and it worked for the series and index. The only downside--and it's hardly one--is that it apparently doesn't work for my quarterlies, which I thought were smartly named "Sp" "Su" "Fa" "Wi"-- but a numeric system makes more sense just from an ordering perspective.
I'm going to go back thru with a regex tutorial site and try to understand it so I don't mess up when I do a (like I said, I really want to understand this, I don't want to have to bug those more knowledgeable; I just have had zero programming opportunities outside of simple macros in Excel and Word).
So what about the author field?.... that's the bigger issue for me with these magazines of which I have just one or two, want them in the proper Calibre folder in the system. Again, just want to copy everything before the comma ("Gardens Illustrated").
Also, imagine I should watch out for the ampersand--take it out of the title field entirely before processing? It always does screwy things in my authors field.
Truly appreciate your help.
