Copy date from Title to Pubdate field

I have a significant number of items in my various Calibre databases that are periodicals. The way I catalog them is to have the name of the publication and the year-Month of publication in the title field (E.g. National Geographic [1994-04].)

What I am trying to figure out, is there any way extract the [1994-04] and use that to make the entry in the published field as "Apr 1994."

I spend a fair amount of time getting the title field correct, and would really like to be able to automate this part.
