Calibre book adding: Regular expression request...

[VyckyeSea]

So I've tried piecing together the information y'all have been posting for my files which are named like so:

[The Iron Fey 01] The Iron King - Julie Kagawa

I can get everything but the series number. Every time I try it gives me an invalid string message. Any ideas? Thanks.

How about posting exactly what you are using.

This is what I've figured out so far.

^(\[(?P<series>[^0-9\-]+) (?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)\]) (?P<title>.+) - (?P<author>[^_]+)

I know I need all these parts, but something is missing.

Using this

^(\[(?P<series>[^0-9\-]+) (?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)\]) (?P<title>.+) - (?P<author>[^_]+)

with this tile

[The Iron Fey 01] The Iron King - Julie Kagawa.epub

works for me.

You need to add a ebook type to the end of the title to get the test to work.

VyckyeSea,
Your posted RegEx and sample book are working for me, provided I add an ebook file type extension (*.epub, *.lit, *.mobi, etc) within the test field for Preferences/Adding Books.
