Trash Words... Start of Line Wild Card

Here is my example auction title

500 MAGIC THE GATHERING MTG LOT

Now if I add "500 " to the list of my trash words... I can filter out all auctions like this... however, I would also be filtering out

2500 MAGIC THE GATHERING MTG LOT

8500 MAGIC THE GATHERING MTG LOT

I cannot set my trash word to " 500 " with a leading space... because the auction starts with that keyword... but if you had a wildcard for start of line then I could do something like "^500 " for my trash word and then it would know that before the 500 is the start of the Auction title.

Please let me know if this feature already exists and I just somehow missed it.

Thanks.

Another Extremely Awesome thing that I can think of that would be amazing... is lets say I could set a filter like

^(%d) MAGIC THE GATHERING

then (%d) would represent a number and
then do like an if statment IF %1<6000

then i could filter out all auctions where the title starts off at the left end of the string with a number and if that number is less than 600 then filter them out with trash word.

Hi xekon,

No the feature doesn't exist yet, but it's on the todo list (it's R2):

Your second idea with the %d is cool but could be quite tricky (mostly from a UI perspective).

Having said that, I have thought that I might provide a plugin architecture which would mean you could write your own filters...

Is this a feature that is available now? the ability to mark the start of a line with trash words.

im trying to add the trash word 20GB and it also trashes 120GB, 220GB, etc.

No the feature isn't there yet.

One way around it is to have catch words that override the trash word.
So in your last example, you'd have 20GB as a trash word.
And then catch words of
120GB
220GB
etc
and in the 'Filters' area be sure to check the "Catch overrides" checkbox next to the "Trash Word filter"
