How'd You Manage Identifier in Calibre?
i've long enough not to pay attention to the identifiers, when i activate the Tag Browser,
example type: 978000123456/978000123456 identifiers:"=urnisbn/978000123456:" identifiers:"=urnisbn/:" is there a search/replace regex or a way to keep the isbn and removing part of identifier or change. 978000123456/978000123456 >>> isbn:978000123456 urnisbn/978000123456 >>> urnisbn:978000123456 if anyone have another rules to share about managing identifier is welcome. |

NOT TESTED Code:
\d+\/(\d{13}) >>> isbn:\1 (urnisbn)\/(\d{13}) >>> \1:\2 I still would single step my Searches and only replace when Eyeball Mk2 says it is good |

Ah! You did not say where you were using the REGEX
I assumed it was in the OPF or body of the book Read the fields on that form identifier type: does not allow a wild card (for when the identifier is malformed. calibre identifiers have 2 parts separated by a colon. type:<value> You can use the Tag browser: Identifiers section to see (and select) all the various types in YOUR library. AFAIK, you will need to fix those that do not comply with calibre identifier rules. For those that do, Bulk mode S&R can work on each TYPE. Just fill in the blanks on the form |

Library Codes Plug-in
The "Library Codes" plug-in silently and automatically scrubs the ISBN for a few highly common ISBN formatting errors that I encountered with my personal metadata while writing it. I guess I could add other formatting errors given free-range test data if examples requiring automatic corrections were posted in the LC thread.

recently, my setting adding book with "Read metadata from file contents".
Quote:
identifiers:"978000123456:978000123456:" identifiers:"=urnisbn/978000123456:" identifiers:"=urnisbn/:" identifiers:"=urnisbn978000123456:" the pattern above repeated most. |
