0 Jerry Medved Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Oh the infamous "how hard would it be..." question :). The regEx filter itself is easy. But have to add UI for the filtering and also completely change the way the news stuff is displayed, and that requires time. Something we are currently lacking. We do have it on the todo list and it will be done. Just a question of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stock777 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I never underestimate the amount of work involved, having programmed myself for 40 years. Was thinking about the the News Alert specifically, where the alert fires based on a simple TRUE/FALSE condition. currently , its a string match Adding a RegEx engine , optionally in place of the simple string search, which would also return a true/false , seems fairly straightforward.
