Playing with a custom column

[louwin]

I created a custom column called "Sequence" with Lookup name of "sequence".

I modified (quickly) my regex to extract "sequence" instead of "Series" and "series_index".

Does Calibre not allow "Add books" to load metadata into custom columns?

Also the "test functionality" doesn't allow you to test custom column metadata extraction?

If it is any help, I am using the latest portable Calibre?

My modified regex:-

((?P<sequence>.*)\s*,\s*)?\s*(?P<title>.+)\s* - \s*(?P<author>.+)

And the book filename:-

ABC, ttttiiiittttlllleeee - A N Author.txt

The "ABC" doesn't appear in the "Sequence" custom column.
