Post a few sample filenames, and someone will help you with a regex. Make sure you select samples that show each format you have for the titles. There's no reason you can't parse out the publisher, but if you have good isbn numbers, and if those numbers are in the databases, you'll write over the publisher, title and author when you fetch metadata.
