Using Folder Names as Metadata

All my ebooks are in a pretty basic format, but Calibre is not picking up the naming structure properly which is causing me to have to hand edit a lot of the files (we're talking a very large collection). So here's my setup:
Alphabet Letter as parent folder,
Author as sub folder
ebooks (with the name structure of <Series> - <# in series> - <Title> =or= <Title>

So I want to know if it's possible to pull the Author from the folder name, the Series, # and Title from the filenames (and for those without a series get the Title in the right location, instead of trying to use the title as the series)
I know in the end I'm probably going to have to do a lot of handwork, which I'm ok with, but fetching the metadata would be so much easier if it would figure out the Authors, and maybe not use the entire filename as the Title.

I search all over the forums, and google, and I don't normally like making posts to bug other people with questions but...
I'll be forever grateful to whomever could me
