How to take away digits from a lot of titles

arnoderuig · 01-08-2012, 08:29 AM

I'm looking for a method to change the titelnames of a large number of books so that the first 3 digits are taken away from the title. I see no possibility to do this via "edit metadata" and then "search and replace" because these 3 digits are all different. Is there a simple solution to achieve this?

Use regex: [0-9][0-9][0-9] are three digits from 0 to 9 on each position.
