RegEx with ISBN

sdspieg · 03-09-2011, 11:13 PM

I no longer seem to be able (with the latest versions of Calibre) to do a Search and Replace (in RegEx mode) in which I replace the search field 'title' with the destination field 'isbn'. There are still a lot of options in the 'destination field' drop-down box, but NOT the isbn-field. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks

The way ISBN is stored was just changed in the last release. At the moment the new way of storing it isn't supported by search and replace.

In the next release, S/R fully supports the new identifiers field, which includes ISBN. Select 'identifiers', then choose the identifier you wish to work with.
