[Poll] Why don't you write filters for proxomitron?

I know what they do, how they work and are easier to maintain.

The same :)

z12 Wrote:For the most part, I don't post them as I don't want the hassle of trying to make them compatible with

the various filter sets.

You don't have to, i don't. Only explaining wich other filters it requires is more than sufficient ;)

Here is where it comes firebug and later the techniques to match only the exact text we are looking for. Is very reccomendable the use of $NEST() and $STOP().

For example ($NEST(<a\s,>)&&(*\shref=($AV(\1)*) is safer than <a\s*href=$AV(\1)*>
Not very sure about $NEST(<a\s,*\shref=($AV(\1)*,>)

Later is slower using tests, but you can easily try many modifications to you filters:
$TST(\1=($AV((http|ftp)(s|)://(^\h)*)))))

An example for sources ($NEST(<im(g|age),>)&&(*\ssrc=$AV(\3)*))

I use the \1 for href and \3 for sources. Many times we speak about speed, but a pair of test in every page will not harm anyone and will give you safety. Later when you have tested your filter and you like how it works, then try to reduce the number of tests but maintaining the same safety.
