Extracting original title

Título original|Titulo original|Original Title|titre original|originaler Titel|Originalausgabe

Many of my books have text like this

Titel der amerikanischen Originalausgabe:
»A Memory of Light«

Result: Titel Der Amerikanischen

Titel der englischen Originalausgabe

CONSIDER PHLEBAS

Result:Titel Der Englischen

Die Originalausgabe erschien unter dem Titel »Shadowheart«

Result: Die Erschien Unter Dem Titel »Shadowheart«

Titel der Originalausgabe: THE MEMOIRS OF LADY TRENT 1:
A NATURAL HISTORY OF DRAGONS

Result: Titel Der The Memoirs Of Lady Trent 1

Could you expand the extraction to two lines? Then I would only have to delete the unnecessary text

Notes Viewer:

1. NV can not remember any setting after "Exit Notes Viewer" (Lock?, AJ)
2. Is it correct that I can only read the notes in NV after jumping to the book?
3. It would be nice if the library view would also jump directly to the book (not selecting only)

I will then work myself in peu a peu - many thanks DaltonST

• Notes Viewer:
  1. I intentionally have not added those yet to 'options' because they are not as trivial as it might appear. Some users switch often among multiple Libraries, and their custom columns are often quite different. Also, the 'auto jump' checkbox will cause an immediate 'jump' as soon as the Search button is pressed and the results returned. Some users would find that annoying. So, I have been waiting for NV to settle down a bit before changing those to be saved options. I intend to make them Library-specific when I do.
  2. NV is for reading the long-text/comments in the Custom Column currently specified in the NV dropdown list for the currently selected book. If you want to do something else, like edit the book, or read it, simply Exit NV.
  3. NV does jump directly to the book in the Library View (Library List), and of course it selects it since that is what it means to go to a particular book in the Library View. You must mean something else.
