Has anyone got a list of syntax formats for obtaining Metadata info from file names.

I can not figure it out at all.

This is what I have

(?P<author>.+) - (?P<series>.+) -(?P<title>[^_]+) it dont work

Author Name - [Series 1] - Title [htm format]

Series is causing me the Problem. Over the years I renamed a lot of titles and didnt put a space between the series and series number ie (Founadtion03). I tried to just put it into series index and sort out series name later, but cant seperate them. Was also hoping I could get it to ignore the format [format]

Tried a few things but I have no idea. I tried to search for tooltips as it mentions in the Config box. Hopefully someone can help. I cant work it out from the Python expression on my own.
