Removing extra info from titles eg [2011] Epic Fail

puremagic · 08-16-2013, 01:49 PM

I have got hundreds of books in my library that are like [2011] Epic Fail in the title. Is there an easy way to remove the [2011] etc.

I would appreciate any help please.

Thanks

Sarah

Sarah,

You can search all the books where [2011] is part of the title, select them all and then use the function metadata. Within that function you can replace
[2011] with nothing with the titlefield

Thank you so much. I will give that a go.
