Channel number output from scan

[btoconnor]

I just stumbled on to this fork of w_scan and I had a question - I see when I run w_scan2 I get the expected channels - I am looking to capture the "Channel number" that is found during the end of the scan:

803000: 8VSB(time: 03:40.506)
tune to: 8VSB     f=201000 kHz (0:0:0) (time: 03:44.296)
service is running. Channel number: 13:1. Name: 'WJZ-TV '
service is running. Channel number: 13:2. Name: 'Start TV'
service is running. Channel number: 13:3. Name: 'Dabl   '
service is running. Channel number: 13:4. Name: 'FaveTV'
tune to: 8VSB     f=207000 kHz (0:0:0) (time: 03:47.806)
service is running. Channel number: 11:1. Name: 'WBAL-DT'
service is running. Channel number: 11:2. Name: 'MeTV'
service is running. Channel number: 54:3. Name: 'Comet'
service is running. Channel number: 54:4. Name: 'Stadium'
service is running. Channel number: 11:4. Name: 'TheGrio'
service is running. Channel number: 11:3. Name: 'Story'

So, for instance, I'd like to be able to reference that "WJZ-TV" has a channel number of "13.1" (13:1 would be sufficient as well as obviously I can just parse that). I see that "WJZ-TV" is in the resulting scan file, but I don't see the channel number or any obvious way to derive it from the information stored there. Is there a way to reference that after the scan is complete?

I understand this is behavior that the original w_scan program had, but activity here seems much more recent.

Implemented in the "master" branch. I'm assuming neither major nor minor channel numbers can have more than three digits each and I'm left-padding them with zeroes, so you can sort your VLC playlist by name and get channel number ordering.

I cannot test ATSC scanning myself, so please test and report any problems.
