If my "Filename" field has both the Artist - Title correctly formatted but all the other tag columns "Title, Artist, AlbumArtist" columns are blank, Is there a formula to take the information from the Filename and place it in its corresponding columns meaning with one action the program can "Copy the Filename, separate the information by the "-" then paste whats before the "-" to the "Artist" field then whats after the "-" to the "Title" field?
You know as I look at the picture I attached, I think a better question would be, what would the formula be if you wanted to take information either prior to "-" or after "-" in a field and add it to a selected field?

This is part of the Documentation at [Import Parts of the Filename to the Tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/rename-files-and-import-tags-from-files/51720#import-tags-from-files-4).
Can you have a look and see if this makes sense to you?
