[kwlug-disc] Regular Expression to Match Movie Titles and Year and Ignore the rest.

[William Park]

 From the top of my head,
     - cut the string on ".2012.720p."
     - change "Zero.Dark.Thirty" to "Zero Dark Thirty "
     - change ".2012.720p." to "(2012-720p)"
     - change "BrRip.x264.BOKUTOX.YIFY.mp4" to ".mp4"

Or,
     - cut the string on "." (period)
     - loop through the substrings, and search for "2012" and/or "720p"
     - reassemble parts
