Split filename into seperate tags

Hi, I would very much appreciate some help with extracting data from filenames and placing that data in tags.

This is a newly created library I am using to catalogue various documents, receipts, etc. rather than E-Books.

The filenames are in the format

2020-03-26_Descriptive title.pdf

After some research it would appear that Metadata Plugboard is the way to proceed.

I want to add the date extracted from the filename added to the Date field (or would it have to be a custom tag?) and the remainder of the filename (excluding "_" and file extension) added to the Title field.

How exactly would I need to set the plugboard up? (I'm a total beginner as regards plugboards and Regex)

Many thanks!

Mike
