importing ISBN named books?

I want to import books that are named only by ISBN but I don’t know what to write in Add/Save section in the filed “Regular expression”. I would like for ISBN to be recognized so that I can get metadata more easily. I tried writing “isbn” and when i hit “test” button it doesn`t work. Please help!!!

Use this:
Code:
(?P<isbn>.*)
I assume your books are named like:
9780316005388.txt

The code above will put that number string into both the title and the ISBN fields. It will put "Unknown" into author. You should then metadata fetch, making sure that you allow the default overwrite of author and title.
