Help in adding books using "regular expression"
Hi all,
I've been trying to add books with this naming format; [Author - Series - Title] "Arthur C. Clarke - Time Odyssey 1 - Times Eye" so I used this in the expression and it worked (?P<author>.+) - (?P<series>[^_]+) - (?P<title>[^_]+) but when I get a different book name like; [Author - Title] it gets messed up "Arthur C. Clarke - Cradle" I need a good expression to use with both [Author - Series - Title] and [Author - Title] to get the author, the series and the title in their right places. Thanks in advance

I didn't write this but it should meet your needs.
Code:
^((?P<author>([^\-_0-9]+)(?=\s*-\s*)(?!\s*-\s*[0-9.]+)|\b))(\s*-\s*)?((?P<series>[^0-9\-]+)(\s*-\s*)?(?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)\s*-\s*)?(?P<title>[^\-_0-9]+) Last edited by DoctorOhh; 07-08-2011 at 06:36 AM. |
