Where is the data coming from?

storycode

What does the field contain?

I introduced this field so searching on story code would become easier. The idea is that someone types a story code, for instance "w Wdc 12-00". This story code is then translated into a pscode: "wwdc12-00".

The official story code was "W WDC 12-00", which also has a pscode of "wwdc12-00". So a search on pscode will find the story.

The current packing algorithm is as follows:
- make all letters lower case ('a'..'z');
- remove all spaces, except when a space is between two digits.
(The exception for spaces between two digits is needed because of the odd Italian story codes "I PK3 1-1".)

We could make the algorithm smarter, for instance for handling 4-digit H-codes and such.

The pscode is a unique identification of a story.

The dump file is sorted on pscode.
