First of all, thanks for the help and your valuable time.

Here is an example of the info I have in the author field:
26 occurrences for:
Lumpus, Sardineli - Tales of After 01 - The Idiot King
Lumpus, Sardineli - Tales of After 02 - The Pink Sock, ...
.
.
.
Lumpus, Sardineli - Tales of After 20 - The Pink Song.

How can I transfer the series and title info into their respective fields?

Yes, I have used different source and destination fields. But, LOL, my results are dismal.
I guess the way to go would be with templates, since there are multiple authors, but my knowledge is scant.
Yes, I read the regexp tutorial, which helped me to use several commands, but I still have not been able to do the carving appropriately.
