Twitter clients that can filter tweets by regex? 3 points by jmillerinc 16y ago ↗ HN Want to filter out tweets containing http://4sq.com or http://gowal.la.Any recommendations on how to do this?
[–] aneesh 16y ago ↗ What is this for? You can use the search API directly (it works with URLs):http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-API-DocumentationIf you truly want regex support, just grab a lot of tweets with the API, and filter client-side. [–] jmillerinc 16y ago ↗ I am looking for an existing Twitter client that can filter by regex while still having all of the bells and whistles. Building my own would be a last resort.
