Regex search help

ownedbycats · 01-12-2023, 04:19 AM

I'm trying to make a search for any books where the series name ends with a comma, but having trouble constructing the regex.

series:~.*, works but also gets several books with a comma in the middle.

Any ideas?

And if you add the symbol $ (end of string) at the end of the regex ?

Yes, that did it. Thanks
