When we reviewed the results, there were cases where that code inadvertently garbled certain author strings, which is why I decided to try using a regex. It worked — that is, it didn’t garble strings the way my first attempt did — and so I kept the code as it was. That said, I’m sure it’s possible to accomplish the same thing using only Python string operations.
