Need help Please! I posting this again because I really need help. I've looked through the FAQ, i'm not a programer, just one of the little people and I can not figure out how to get Calibre to pull metadata from the file name in the format I need. I've tried several things I have read in the posts but nothing has worked for this file name format...

I am trying to import a batch of ebooks that are formated as follows...

Author (last name first Name) - Searies [##] - Title

Example:
Patterson James - Alex Cross [10] - London Bridges.epub

What is the expression I have to use?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
