Regular Expression For Adding Books

Hi All,
I am trying to work out an expression for adding epub ebooks into Calibre.

I am using this code for files in this format Author - Series - Title.

(?P<author>[^_-]+) -?\s*(?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[0-9]*)\s*-\s*(?P<title>[^_].+) ?

But is doesn't work when the series is missing.

Ken Follett - Kingsbridge - 1. A katedralis.epub

Title: 1. A katedralis
Author: Ken Follett
Series: Kingsbridge
Series Index:

Can someone please help?
