How do I make it so calibre adds in data in certain columns using the title of the imported books? For example I have a 2 books with these titles
Title book 1: "[leaf409] No Invader (Blue Sky 2011-12) (grb90) [Spanish]"
Title book 2: "[Heari pan] Luminous paladin (King)"

I want it so the "[leaf409]" and "[Heari pan] automatically gets put into the "artist" custom column and the "(Blue Sky 2011-12)" and "(King)" into a custom column called "Thology".

Also after I do this I would like an option to make all the highlighted books to have everything in brackets and square brackets to be removed such as book 1 is named "No Invader" and book 2 as "Luminous paladin"

Help would be appriciated, I have lots of book with this title format and have to manually go through them which takes a lot of time.
