Help write a regular expression for a such filenames:

MMB vol.207 Welschof M., Krauss J. (eds.) Recombinant Antibodies for Cancer Therapy(Humana Press, 2002)(ISBN 0896039188)(456s)

MMB vol.018 Murphy D., Carter D.A. (ed.) Transgenesis Techniques.. Principles and Protocols (Humana Press, 1993)(ISBN 0896032450)(C)(T)(436s)

And how I can save original filename in custom column?

Thank you..

Which part of the file name do you think should go in what field? Something like

Code:

.*?\d+\s*(?P<author>.*?)\s*\(.*?\)\s*(?P<title>[^(]+)\s*\((?P<publisher>[^,]+),\s*(?P<published>[0-9]+)\)\(ISBN\s*(?P<isbn>\d+)\).*?

should at least pick up most of the information.

Edit: You can only save to those fields available in the add books settings dialog, but you could, for example, save the original filename to the title field using

Code:

(?P<title>.*)

However, you can only use one of the expressions at once, so you'll have to choose what to save.

Thanks for you attention, but it's not work...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Spoiler:

The image resolution is too low to tell, but you have to put the format extension on the test filename. In other words, add .pdf to the test file name if it isn't there.

What Starson said. The two test cases you gave in your original post worked for me.
