Here is what I am trying to replace:
category=>^Overlord (MADHOUSE Anime).*$=>Overlord - Maruyama Kugane

replace_metadata uses regular expressions which use () as grouping characters. To use them for actual () chars, you need to escape them with \.

Here's an example from my own personal.ini:

Code:

add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=>Collision Course \(prev: SotL: Secretly Awesome\)=>Collision Course

If you want to learn more about regular expressions, this is a decent quick start guide and regex101.com is a useful tool for experimenting with different patterns to match different strings. FFF uses Python flavor regex.

place a \ before every special character to escape it

'Unnew' and updates of stories with larger chapter counts should be faster.

Hi! I'm trying to set up to separate relationship columns, one for romantic relationships and one for platonic relationships. Unfortunately, my complete ignorance of python (and really any type of coding language) is coming back to bite me in the behind as I can't seem to figure out what I need to add to my personal.ini to make my romships column populate only with the X/Y data and the platonicships column populate with everything else, including the "Minor or Background Relationship(s)" tag. So far my efforts have resulted in either all the ships in both columns, none of the ships in both columns, or only the X/Y ships in both columns. I'd really appreciate some help in figuring out what and where things need to go.

Thanks!
