Two replace metadata questions:

1. is it possible to force capitalization in a result?

I have this code:

Code:

 genre=>(.*) (?:and|&amp;) (.*) (?:and|&amp;) (.*) are (.*)s=>\4 \1,\4 \2,\4 \3
 genre=>(.*) (?:and|&amp;) (.*) are (.*)s=>\3 \1,\3 \2
 genre=>(.*) is an? (.*)=>\2 \1

So "Sun is a ghost", gives me "ghost Sun". I would like to capitalize it like a title, but am not sure if it is even possible.

2. I have this code to categorize AUs:

Code:

 genre=>(.*) [Aa][Uu](.)?=>Alternate Universe,AU: \1
 genre=>(Alternate Universe)( - )?(.*)?=>\1,AU: \3
 genre=>Medival type setting=>Alternate Universe,AU: Medival
 genre=>Mer(.*)=>Alternate Universe,AU: Mermaid

However, I also get "AU:" as a result which I don't want. I can't figure out how to stop it.

I tried both:

Code:

 genre=>AU:$=>
 genre=>^AU:$=>

But neither worked.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'll have a question later on how to sort multiple series when one series is in multiple columns.
