Need Add Book Preference Help

I'm very new to using Calibre but so far it seems fairly straight forward, but for one small issue.

I have a large number of ebooks I'm entering into Calibre, some of which are part of a series. Looking at the Preferences/Add Book I was able to rearrange the default setting to (?P<author>[^_]+)-(?P<title>.+) so that an ebook file in the format John Smith-A Book.pdf will Add Book into Calibre as Author=John Smith and Title=A Book.

However, what would be the formula for the first book in John Smith's naval mystery series, i.e. "John Smith - A Book - Naval Mystery 1"?

Looking at the preferences that can be set it seems there are quite a few items that could be translated from the file name into Calibre. However, while I was able to figure out "author" and "title", "series" added to the same style of formula didn't work.

Advise would be appreciated.
