Change Book Title

Hokkie · 06-10-2014, 11:58 AM

Example:

I have a lot of books with a nummer in the title p.e.":
Amber 10 - Prins of Chaos
Amber 9 - Prins of Chaos
Amber 8 - Prins of Chaos

When I use Metadata for the group I can't remove the part: "Amber 10 - "

Please help me because I have more then 250 books with a Title like these.

Warning IMHO this is a little advanced and could do serious damage to your Library (selected titles) if you get it wrong.
Backup your ENTIRE Library folder. REPLACE it entirely if thing go west/south...

Select all books with the exact same issue
Tap 'E' for bulk metadata edit: Select the Search&replace tab:

Search field: title
Search mode (on right):Regular Expression
Search for: Amber \d+ - Prins of Chaos
Replace: <leave blank. No spaces>

Make sure All you want removed is in the search term, includes any trailing spaces. This should LEAVE whatever is to the right of that pattern

You should see the EXACT results you want, otherwise cancel or adjust search until it DOES. What you see, is what will happen
