Multiple regexes in "save book to disk" template?

Phssthpok · 07-10-2018, 11:37 AM

A while ago I lost my settings, including the save-to-file filename template. For the directory name I'm now using {author_sort:re( & .*$,)} which takes out all but the first author. My old RE also stripped out non-word characters except for [,' -], but I can't remember how to do it in combination with stripping out all but the first author...

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks...

Well, I did it like this:

{author_sort:re(([^\w\, '-]| & .*$),)}

but I'm sure that's not how I did it before...
