Hope this helps!

var string = '01 - Il visitatore misterioso - Mia and me II';
var regex = /^(\d{2})\s\-\s([\w\s]+)\-[\w\s]+$/;
var matches = regex.exec(string);

console.log('Group 1:', matches[1])

If you have access to a programming code, you could easily split the string with "space"-"hyphen"-"space", and get the necessary items.

With a regex, you may use

^(\d+)\s*-\s*([^-]+)\s

See the regex demo

Details:

  • ^ - start of string
  • (\d+) - Group 1 capturing 1 or more digits
  • \s*-\s* - a hyphen enclosed with 0+ whitespaces
  • ([^-]+) - Group 2 capturing 1+ chars other than -, as many as possible (the + quantifier is greedy)
  • \s - a whitespace
