Export ISBN numbers for import to Google books
Is it even possible to do this? Could be in any number of formats - txt, csv, xls, etc. Just something I can use to paste in all the ISBN numbers at Google Books. Look forward to responses. Thanks.

Can you dumb it down? I read the section you suggested, but I can't seem to find the right command to export ISBN's to one file (or even all metadata to one file). Not sure if I just can't figure it out or if it's not an option. Not a lot of experience with command line stuff.

Code:
calibredb list --fields isbn --separator , > library.csv m a r |

Kovidgoyal and rogue_ronin, thanks so much for the help. You dumbed it up just enough so i could make some use of it.
Also, Kovidgoyal - great work on Calibre. Just found it a few days ago and am getting my ebooks organized and making some sense out of what was previously a mess. Why Amazon or [insert ereader parent company here] buy you out or hire you to do this on a larger scale is beyond me. Thanks. |

P.S. The command I use looks like this:
C:\Users\adria>calibredb list --fields isbn --library-path=E:\adrian.vogler@outlook.com\OneDrive\Bücher\ Calibre > e:\library.csv The created file is empty. |

P.P.S. There is no " " in the library-path.
--library-path=E:\adrian.vogler@outlook.com\OneDrive\Bücher\ Calibre In there is a folder _CALIBRE which contains a file called "metadata", so I assume that is the correct path. |

@adrian142 - it could be a conflict with OneDrive.
See ==>> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS? In this context cloud storage services are a network drive. Either pause OneDrive before starting calibre components and resume it when you're done. Or use a stand alone folder and file synchronisation tool to update a copy of library on OneDrive from a local copy at a convenient time - WikiP has a long list of such tools. BR |

Remarks: Be careful with the separator. E.g "," can be a part of a field value like title. Same for special characters like "ÄäÜüÖö" in path statements as this is quite often the beginning of adversity. You need to check if this will work for your needs. I saw, there was a space in your example "...\ Calibre" Sample: Code:
calibredb list --fields=isbn --separator=";" --with-library="E:\Your path\to\the\Library\Calibre Library" >library.csv |
