Reformatting in KM

Questions & Suggestions
1

Hey there,

I'm looking to take the following text:

3m04 - Buy Her The Dog [0:35]

And reformat it so it comes up as:

3m04_BUY HER THE DOG

So far I've copied the text and using Search Using Regular Expression, I can't seem to figure out how to capture just the "3m04" and "Buy Her The Dog" so I can reformat the" - " to just "_". I'm a beginner still with Regular expressions and KM but is it possible to do the above? Thanks!
