You can use regexes to parse the filenames and get title and author, if present. But if you have a lot of files with differently structured filenames, then that can be labor intensive. It might be better to rename the files first, so their filenames are similar. Title - Author.extension. Or group the files in a few groups with similar filenames. But it could also be a good idea to first attempt to add the books and add title and author from metadata inside the files. Then you don't have to bother with the file names.
