I usually opt for Amazon metadata over that from other sites. Often I end up with a huge amount in the Comments (ie. book summary) field. Usually, stuff from reviews and about author that I really don't want.

I notice that those sections often start with ###. Example, there may be an "### Review" heading and a "### From the Author" heading.

Is there anyway, while downloading the metadata, to ignore/delete everything beginning with ### Review? In all the ones I've seen, I don't mind losing everything after "### Review".

Is there an expression of some sort that can be used in the plugboards to truncate the field and delete everything from "### Review" to the end?
