Yes, I am working with plain text files with a ".txt" extension. So it would be
tb-2099 California microbial life (john adams) 1999.txt

Is there documentation somewhere for the symbolic names that can be used for expressions? For example is it "(?P<author>.*)" or (?P<authors>.*)?
Does case matter? Does import fail if their is whitespace?
