Suggestions, requests, questions, and bugs :   RegEx in Filtered Words 

Glad we have that capability, but I'll bet most posters have no idea what \b and ? mean in the default words. I use RegEx every day and am only curious about which dialect you use.

I use regular expressions a lot, but I don't know what filtered words are. What are they?

Happiness is a warm… yes it is… GUN!

It's the section of your profile above FRIENDS. For the benefit of the non-RegEx:

\b = word boundary. I wouldn't use it on \bfuck because if you're offended by motherfucker or clusterfuck, it won't catch them.

? = previous character is optional, hence used on plurals.

These are the ones you get with the DEFAULT button:

Filtered Words

• If no replacement is provided then asterisks will be displayed.
x \bfuck
x \bshit
x *******?\b
x ******?\b
x *******?\b
x *****?\b
x *****?\b
x *****?\b
x *****?\b

It just uses JavaScript regular expressions.

I don't use it much due to random capitalization not following the replacement string. It isn't smart enough to know what a proper noun is.

Also, the replacement is sometimes just ******** if it doesn't like something in the REPLACE box. Shouldn't "\bJ?o?e? ?Biden\b" or "\b(Joe )?Biden\b" be interpreted as easily as the other examples?

Those should now filter correctly. You may need to clear your cache to receive the updated javascript file.

The translation now works. 😊 I assume the input is not case-sensitive. Capitalization of the output however, should follow the output, not some random pattern.😞

[x \b(Joe )?Biden\b ⇒ The Big Guy] comes out "The big Guy" for some reason.

Thanks. BTW, I liked it better when the notifications were deleted on exit, but I always thought there should be something to that effect on the pop-up.

UPDATE: "The Big guy" in another instance. Truly random capitalization.

Here's a really weird random capitalization I never expected:

The big guY
Add to:
The Big guy
The big Guy

Never once have I seen it come out: The Big Guy as entered.

I've noticed that quite a few areas aren't translated. Untagged URLs are translated on both sides, where only the display part if any should be translated.

It's been well over a year and URLs are still translated. I give up and will have to eliminate those words that are likely to show up in URLs.

So far today, I've seen correct capitalization. Thanks! I would imagine the only time you would want to intervene is when the replacement starts a sentence in lower case.

I found another bug. You can't edit them of course, but if you only change the output and delete the old one, sometimes both are deleted. I suggest keying on the full string rather than just the input.
