Note, default Calibre import setting when getting metadata from filename is actually:

title - author

Regular expression (Preferences > Import/export > Adding books > Regular expression)

Code:

(?P<title>.+) - (?P<author>[^_]+)

You can certainly modify the regular expression to fit your needs (caveat, doesn't work with folder names afaik).

I think one of the pre-made options in the regex dropdown already include series in the format:

author - series 1 - title

Regular expression

Code:

(?P<author>[^_-]+) -?\s*(?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[0-9]*)\s*-\s*(?P<title>[^_].+) ?
