Metadata/regex help
Trying to get part of the title into the series_index field. Can someone tell what I'm doing wrong from the attached screenshot?

Thanks!

You're only replacing what you grab, so you need to grab the whole string.

or

You are thinking you can do this in one pass

Step 1 (you are mostly there)
grab the numeric before the dash and shove it into the Series_index (this assumes the CORRECT Series Name is present)

Step 2 (after verifying step 1 succeeded)
Remove the numeric and Dash, (Same find, no replace value) in the title.
