Add books to Calibre
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this has been asked before... sorry if it has. I want to add my book files to Calibre but don't want to sit there for half a day changing the metadata. My books are filenamed: Author - Series Series Number - Title Example J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter 1 - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone I see in Calibre you can change the way files are added however I can't seem to figure out the specific string I need. You help would be most appreciated. Thank you |

As for you question I would have to venture the answer to be yes... You would have to edit the expression to suit your needs though I have no idea on how to do it. There is a link there that has reference expressions that you can use... |

Thanks but that's the part where I'm stuck...
Also own the hardback versions of the HP series so feel justified in downloading ebook versions after paying out over £60 for 7 books. |
