Handle Comics number 1900-2099 better #389

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
There's some optimization in the filename parsing that tries to recognize 
numbers that are years (i.e. 1900-2099).  Unfortunately, some comics actually 
have issue numbers in this range, and you end up having to use a regex setting 
to bypass that problem:

raper?start=490#39930

e.g. none of the following parse properly by default, but maybe they could:

The Beano 1960 [1980-02-09] (TGMG).zip
The Beano #1960 [1980-02-09] (TGMG).zip
The Beano 1960 (1980-02-09) (TGMG).zip

Unfortunately, we can't just stop detecting "year-like" numbers in filenames.  
There are many series that actually use years as part of their titles, so it's 
important that the scraper can recognize these situations and not interpret 
those years as issue numbers.

I have, however, changed the scraper to understand that numbers that start with 
'#' are always issue numbers, even if they look like years.   This change is in 
version 1.0.86.
