Add title to bulk but keep number

Hi !

I've got 160 walking dead files. In calibre the title is the numer (1 to 160) I would like to keep those number but add ''the walking dead'' before those numbers (The walking dead - 01) (The walking dead - 02) (...)

Bulk edit doesn't allow to add title. S&R need me to select a search...

Can someone help me there ?

Thanks !

Look to the right side of Bulk Mode S&R: Mode: I think you want 'Prepend"
'the walking dead ' would be your replace value
the search field {title}
search for \d+ (assumes REGEX mode, numbers only. use .+ if text)

I'm almost there , Thanks !

Calibre add a comma before the number, how to get rid of that ?

''The walking dead - ,123''

EDIT: ok i've found the problem ! Thanks a lot !

Since i'm there...Caliber put (The walking dead - 100) before (The walking dead - 11)

How can I change that ?

You might want to redo in groups so the title Alpha Sorts
and pad the number with the correct amount of 0's

001
010
100

Theducks: Is there a way to do it in batch or I must do it manually for each of the 160 titles ?
