Here is my situation: I have a bunch of books whose author name has (as an example)

John Ringo - The Legacy of the Aldenata 5

What I want to do is move the stuff after the dash into the 'series' tag and the 'series index' tag, using 'Editing metadata in bulk' search and replace feature. Unless there's another way to do it, in which case I am *really* an idiot.

This expression: .*? -
returns the part I need to split into two pieces.

This expression: .*? - [^0-9]+
returns the number that goes into the index.


Can some genius please tell me how to construct an expression that will return the part between the dash and the number so I can put that into the series???
