Help with regex expression for adding Doujins

[DarkGhosty]

I used calibre to manage my doujinshi and have set up custom columns for this as well such as Comiket and circle. I want to use regex to import metadata from the title which is standardized into the correct fields when importing the books.

I want to take a name like this
(C87) [Abradeli Kami (Bobobo)] Gyan☆Colle (Gundam Build Fighters Try)
which translates to
(comiket #) [Group (Author)] Title (Parody)

I have custom columns set up for parody, group, and comiket so I would like a regex that outputs the title, author, comiket (number only ignoring the C), group, and parody.

This is the regeix I have so far, I dont know how to pull the title out yet, nor do I know how to link the groups in the right order. Sorry I suck a regex. Also I'm not sure you can import metadata from the title into a custom column... is there a way to do this? Thanks!

(?P<title>() (?P<author>\[[^]]+?\(([^(]+)\)\]) (?P<comiket>[0-9]+) (?P<group>\[([^\[\]()]+)) (?P<parody>(?:\([^)]*\)[^(]*){2}\(([^)]*)\))

The GetFileName FileType plugin might be of interest ==>> Index of plugins

At add time it will put the file name and/or path into a designated custom column. From there you can use the Bulk metadata edit->Search and replace tool to extract items from the file name strings and and put them into designated custom columns.

Ok I will check it out, meanwhile I think I have a closer regex expression that I want, but seems like its still not working in calibre...
