It will have trouble with titles that have anything other than alphanumerics in the title.
Actually, I think I figured out one of the issues with this.

The regex works perfectly with any of this:

Quote:
L. Frank Baum - [Wizard of Oz 02] - The Marvelous Land of Oz.lit
L. Frank Baum - [Wizard of Oz 02] - The Marvelous Land of Oz(lit).lit
L. Frank Baum - Wizard of Oz 02 - The Marvelous Land of Oz(lit).lit
L. Frank Baum - Wizard of Oz 02 - The Marvelous Land of Oz.lit
But if somehow THIS makes it's way into the parsing, disaster results:

Quote:
L. Frank Baum - [Wizard of Oz 02] - The Marvelous Land of Oz[lit].lit
I think I had some unexpected files which were a bit messed up by using square brackets around the file type near the end rather than round ones. I probably just have to track those down "by hand".
