A lot of my books are parts of series with author names like
'Julian May - Galactic Milieu 03' now all the text from the '-' should really be on the end of the Titles as this causes the author sort to sort by the number on the end.
I have had a look at the search and replace but cant figure out a way to take this part off the author and on to the Title.
Can anyone help please.

The reason you find nothing: Series belongs in the Series column (and series_index in the series index field)
Note: this takes 3 passes of S&R (because S&R only does 1 field at a time)
Pass 1: COPY the series NAME (no numbers, no brackets) to the Series Name field. (you must have a the name before setting the number)
Pass 2: (I prefer copy vs move) COPY the Series number to Series_Index
Pass 3: clean up (remove from) all the series info the source field
The output template can put this where you want when sending to the device without messing up the Library
