Trying to extract ISBN from title using action chain

Hi

I installed calibre yesterday and i try to import my books into it right now.
As my books are in german, they wont get recognized that good.
Several of my books are in pdf and the isbn is at the beginning of the title.
Because of that, i installed the plugin "action chains" and made a action to extract the isbn from the title, which works fine, as long as i only have one book selected.
if i have multiple books selected, every book gets the same ISBN.
How can i run the action chain for each of the selected books or is there and easier way?

Code:
program:
    title = from_selection('title');
    isbn = shorten(title,13,"",0);
    test = ("isbn: " & isbn)
