Search/Replace where Field1 = Field2
Hi.
I've got about 7 thousand books where the import went a bit off and I have the author's name equal to the title's name: e.g: Title = "My Favorite Book" and Author = "My Favorite Book." I'd like to search for all of these occurrences and then replace Author with "unknown." The regular expression searches are a bit beyond me. Is there a way to search for a field that's equal to another field? It seems like it should be something like %title% = %author% but I'm not having much luck... Help? |

Try the Multi-Column Search plugin.
