Help with a 'Saving Books to Disk' Template

Vortex · 11-30-2014, 09:47 AM

I'm need help with a 'Saving Books to Disk' Template, that will output:

Author Name - Book Title.ext (For books with no series name)
Author Name - Series - Book Title.ext (For books with no series index)
Author Name - Series 01 - Book Title.ext

Thanks.

Code:

{authors} - {series}{series_index:0>2s:| | - }{title}

I tried that before, I get this error message:

The template should be

Code:

{authors} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title}

The colon after the 2s shouldn't be there.

@eschwartz: this is the same mistake that I made and you caught back when we were discussing a BNF grammar for the template language.

I prefer program mode -- it is simpler and easier to remember. But I recognized the issue as soon as I saw Vortex's post, which is after you answered.

I would catch that if I hadn't been typing into my Kindle Touch browser.

Usually I field test the template, but in the absense of calibre cross-compiled for the e-ink Kindle...
