Regex in Save book to eliminate more than 1 author

[davidam2]

Hi!!

In SAVING BOOKS TO DISC, in Save Template I have:
{authors} - {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] }{title}

This line save books in disc with names (for example):
Author - Title
or
Author1 & Author2 - Serie [01] - Title.

Can I limit (with Regex, I suppose) to only 1 author, if the book have more than one? How?

Thanks a lot!!

I Found it!!!
:sublist(0,1,&)

change the line:
{authors} - {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] }{title}

by:
{authors:sublist(0,1,&)} - {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] }{title}

Thanks and excuse me for the inconveniences

Yup, that is exactly my default overide. (sublisting all "authors" mentions)
