Use Regular Expressions in text filters

[zbluebugz]

Can Regular Expressions be used in text-filters?

[zbluebugz]

Preliminary testing (after tweaking code), says it is possible. Further testing needs to be done though ...

Is it supported in the most recent beta version (beta-4-15)?

I have 4.13-beta-v2, which supports it, but sponsored posts are reappearing.

v4.15 has the updated code for catching sponsored posts (mid-Feb 2023 change). Does not have the Regular Expression code as I haven't spent much time testing / using it.

Cloned a copy for you to use. Has the Regular Expression code. (v4.15re)

Available for use: beta/archive/beta-4-15-w-regexp.js

There's bug with version 4.15/4.15re.

If you choose to hide the notifications, fb will complain after a few posts. Setting hide notifications to either 1 or more, will not cause fb to complain.

Will implement a fix later on.

Could you combine the two versions and include regular expressions as an option?

[zbluebugz]

Will do - working on v5.0x at the moment.

Can you give me a sample (simple one) of regular expression you use?
