Regular expression to add PDFs please

jgmelki · 08-14-2011, 10:59 AM

Hi,

can anyone help with the Regular Expression that will recognize the title - ISBN from the file name??

my PDFs are all named something like:

InDesign class room in a book - 636372727363.PDF

I'm trying to setup a Regular Expression in the Adding Books Settings that allows Caliber to recognize the text before the "-" as title and the number after it as ISBN, but it's too complicated for me

please help me

John

Try

Code:

(?P<title>.*?)\s*-\s*(?P<isbn>\d+)

There's also a regular expression tutorial that might be of interest to you.
