calibredb remove ...

BerlinerKindl · 11-11-2011, 05:48 PM

Hi,

is there a way to delete alot of book at the same time from Calibre via the "calibredb remove" command?

I will delete all books with tags:"x" or all book with series:"y".

Something like this:

Code:

calibredb list -s series:"xxx" | calibredb remove

Thanks

calibredb remove -h
Usage: calibredb remove ids

Remove the books identified by ids from the database. ids should be a comma separated list of id numbers (you can get id numbers by using the list command). For example, 23,34,57-85

Works better but the last book would be not remove from library.

Code:

calibredb remove 12-15

This removed the books 12, 13 and 14 but NOT 15.

Thanks

That's the way lists indices work in python. Use 12-16
