IMHO,
sometimes it is easier to do a 'post-import' correction of things (the names) using the Search and Replace tools of the Bulk metadata editoe, where you are only working on ONE (source) field at a time.
In the example, you import the grungy Title as is. with the Author cleaned to :Firstname Lastname, and drop the ' - ' as part of the process (per your example)
BTW If the format contains good metadata, forget the 'Read from filename', Calibre WILL extract the existing metadata during an ADD if you DON'T use that setting.
