Looking for some help moving data between fields. 1 year, 7 months ago #8775

A lot of my files have a 5 digit ID number at the beginning.
When I imported these into CR the ID number was pulled into the Series field.

There are 2 things that I need to do now:

1. Copy the first 5 characters from the Series field into another field (tags?).

2. Delete the first 6 characters (5 digits and a space) from the Series field.

Which, if any, scripts might help me in accomplishing these tasks.

Thanks.

#@Name  Copy Series to Tags
#@Hook  Books
#@Key  CopyFields
#@Description  Copy the first 5 characters from the Series field into Tags, then  Delete the first 6 characters from the Series field.

def RenameBookFiles(books):
  for book in books:
    book.Tags = book.ShadowSeries[0:5]
    book.Series = book.ShadowSeries[6:]

This should do what you want. Run CopyFields.crplugin and restart ComicRack. Then select comic(s), right click -> Automation -> Copy Series to Tags

It was nostalgic and entertaining learning a little python figuring out how to partition the string in the parser script but quidams script should now let me correct just the files with the ID numbers and not mess with how the rest of the files are treated.
