@gianni_1 - the regular expression field is irrelevant if the Read metadata from file contents rather than file name option is checked. When that option is checked the metadata (author, title, publisher, publication date etc) that is embedded in the book will be used.

If you rename the file to:

Code:

Tex Willer. L'ouragano - Numero 129.pdf

and set the regex to:

Code:

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

you should get what you want.
