Book Adding - Expressions Help

dipindots · 09-07-2017, 12:27 AM

Hello,

I could really use your help please. I've been trying to find an expression that works with my book list, however I either come across something that has zero effect, or ones that don't exactly fit my needs. I have books listed as follows in my collection:

Cynthia Eden - Killer Instinct bk .5 The Gathering Dusk.epub
Cynthia Eden - Killer Instinct bk 1 After the Dark.epub
Nora Roberts - High Noon.epub

I'm having trouble finding a solution that would ignore the 'bk' in the file name.

Any help or advice you give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

I fix usually those with Bulk mode Search and replace if I get more than 1 (by hand if just 1 since the S&R tab is not directly available unless you trick it)

I also commonly see 'Book' not 'Bk'. BTW triggering on Book, might be dangerous if Book IS part of the title
