(Oh hi Keen Eddie! <3) Yes, I'm realizing that. :( There have been some breakthroughs on the MobileRead forum, so hopefully I'll solve the calibre related issues there.

I just recently discovered that I can open several files in Notepad++ ad do a search and replace. I was hoping search&replace would be something I could do on a larger number of files without actually having to open them (hence thinking I could use calibre for that), but it seems I won't be able to do that (not with my level of technical knowledge).

I've got two free renaming programs I installed (um, Ant Renamer I think, and Bulk Rename Utility), and so far I've figured out how to prefix the name of the author folder in which I keep my fics written by that one author; what I can't figure out is how to rename a files like

Author - 01 Title.html
Author - 02 Title.html
Author - 03 Title.html

to

Author - 01 - Title.html
Author - 02 - Title.html
Author - 03 - Title.html

Do you see what I mean? How do I tell the renamer to add a dash and a space without touching the number?
