Incorrect user agent result: HubPages

Would you like to submit a PR with the proposed changes?

Thanks

Sorry but I'm still a novice PHP developer and yet to learn how to work with Git :-(

But, what I'm proposing here is changing the method getMatches(); inside "Jaybizzle\CrawlerDetect\CrawlerDetect" as below:

public function getMatches()
{
    return isset($this->matches[0]) ? trim(preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9\-\_\.]/', ' ', $this->matches[0])) : null;
}

It will filter out any unwanted special characters and white spaces.

Here I assume that any detected bot should really not require any type of special characters, except a - (minus sign) and an _ (underscore) .

Sorry for the delayed response.

I see where you are coming from, but the getMatches() method is not really used to return the exact bot that was detected, but more to return the exact portion of the user agent that caused the true response.

It would be nice to by able to have magic methods, such as isHubPages() but this would require us keeping a more complex database of bots and the beauty of this library is it's simplicity.

Always open to PRs though.

Thanks
