save file template for series

bucsie · 11-07-2010, 01:40 PM

I have a template for saving files that appends the series number:

Code:

{author_sort}/{series:||/}{series_index:0>2s||. }{title}

the number is set to two characters, so a 0 is appended for single-digit numbers.

But some series have novellas or short stories between books, so I have some entries' series numbers labeled like 2.10.
So now, with this template, the books are saved as 01, 02, 2.10, 03

I would like to change this template so that it saves them as 01, 02, 02.10, 03

Any ideas? Thanks

Try

Code:

{author_sort}/{series:||/}{series_index:re(^(\d)(\.|$),0\1\2)||. }{title}
