Import 100's books - Auto increment tag?

PeterSm · 04-07-2014, 12:56 PM

Hi, i wonder if i can ask for some assistance please as Ive tried searching (from work so not so hard i'll admit..sorry) with an issue I'm having...

I have a couple of hundred generic books which using Explorer ive named
BK001 - Book001 - author.mobi
->
Bk999 - Book999 - author.mobi etc

Im trying to import/add to Calibre so I can then set covers, dates etc and I'd like to get the 1st section as a tag, 2nd section as title, 3rd section as author so I'm using

Import based on filename +
(?P<tags>.+) - (?P<title>.+) - (?P<author>[^_]+)

as the regex but the tags arent being populated..

If I use <series> instead of <tags> I do get my BK001,BK002 etc but with the [1] of the series..so is tags a valid import field?

I'm probably doing something wrong (as usual...) but if anyone can help or advise that would be appreciate..

Thanks
PeterSm.
