Add Books - Regex Help Please

nynaevelan · 08-16-2011, 12:51 PM

Hi:

I have some books that are named like this Anthony, Piers - Xanth 28 - Currant Events

This is the regex which I have now: (?P<author>[^_]+) - (?P<series>[^_]+) - (?P<title>.+)

Can someone help me adjust it so that the index number (28 in this example) can be inputted into the index field instead of part of the series name?

I pasted your title into the test filename box, added .epub and pressed test.

Code:

^((?P<author>([^\_0-9]+)(?=\s*-\s*)(?!\s*-\s*[0-9.]+)|\b))(\s*-\s*)?((?P<series>[^0-9\-]+) ([-#] ?)?(?P<series_index>[0-9.]+)?\s*-\s*)?(?P<title>.+)

This template set all 4 fields (author was LN, FN)
