Do you use regular expressions with Include/Exclude keywords in DestroyTwitter?
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
If you answer yes, please comment what regular expression you use.

I didn’t know they were in there o.O
I use it for filter some of my friends’ tweets posted from plurk.com
pcre.
To exclude Twitter games like mafia wars, vampires and 140c games. Also to include Destroy Twitter, ableton, reaktor and free music mentions.I also use it on Fridays to exclude the Follow Fridays from my timeline.
I use it to filter out things that annoy me from time to time.
- “\b\d(\w)*word(\w)*\b”, to filter all kinds of games that appeared since “3 words after sex” (not sure if the \b are needed, but it works);
- “lies(boys|girls)tell” and “took the.*quiz” to filter games;
- (HUA|HAU)(HUA|HAU) since messages with laughs like that were usually crap.
I really LOVE regex support on filters, but I’m curious: why are you asking about this? Do you plan to remove them for something else? Memory/performance issues?
Oh, there are a lot more things that I filter, but these don’t use regex at all. I can list them if you want.
@dipnlik — I’m thinking about saving tweets in a SQLite db before displaying which would be a huge performance boost, but I’m not sure if Regexp is supported by AIR’s version of SQLite.
Didn’t knowI could
I exclude “twitcam”, because I don’t care what they chat in there.
I don’t use them (and so voted ‘no’), but do like to know they’re there
I didn’t use them, because I didn’t know you could, but now I started using them (maybe a bad move, but who knows…)
