Question

I am using the below plugin to fetch tweets and display them.

http://tweet.seaofclouds.com/

Within the plugin is a filter feature, and the below regex filters out all tweets on the account which are replies:

filter: function(t){ return ! /^@\w+/.test(t.tweet_raw_text); }

I wish to now build on this filter to only display tweets which contain the hashtag ‘#capetowntrains’

Can anyone assist me with the correctly formed RegEx statement?

Thanks for the help

Regards

Devin

Answer 1

Should just need to change it to this

filter: function(t){ 
    return (! /^@\w+/.test(t.tweet_raw_text)) && (/#capetowntrains/.test(t.tweet_raw_text)); 
}

We only keep things that are not replies and also contain #capetowntrains.

EDIT: and if you want it to be case insensitive (note the added i)

filter: function(t){ 
    return (! /^@\w+/.test(t.tweet_raw_text)) && (/#capetowntrains/i.test(t.tweet_raw_text)); 
}
