Adding Books: regular expression request

Hi,

I'm migrating my Mendelay library to Calibre. Mendeley renames every file in the following format

AuthorLastName_Year_Title_Journal

I was hoping some helpful and generous soul would help me by posting a regular expression to add the books in calibre. That would be most appreciated.

1)When there's no metadata on any of those fields, Mendeley will add "Unknown" to the string.
2) If the title is too long, sometimes the filename will not include the next fields. For exemple: Weiss_yyyy_The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-P.pdf

Thanks in advance
