Filters

Filters are a simple yet useful system to replace text. They can be applied to incoming or outgoing IRC chat.

Just go to Prefs->Filters and setup your own.

• REGEXP - This is a javascript regular expression to match against
• Replacement - The text you want to replace with
• In - If checked, it'll be applied to any incoming IRC chat
• Out - If checked, it'll be applied to any outgoing IRC chat

Note that the filters are applied from first to last, only once.

For the regular expression syntax, see https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Guide/Regular_Expressions

You could use this:

• Replace irritating abbreviations - BRB->"Be right back"
• Filter out offensive words - Damn->"by the beard of zuess!"
• Store commonly used responses - tellWidget -> "The widget is a fantastic thing that you can find more info about here....."
