XChat Filter Messages

This Perl script for XChat silently discards incoming messages matching any of a set of regular expression matches.

This allows you to remove things you don't want to see from the chat - I personally use it to remove things like "nick is listening to ..."

The matches are defined one per line in a file. By default, this file should be called filterrules and placed in your xchat config dir (on Linux, ~/.xchat2).

If you change the file while this script is active, you can instruct the script to re-read the file with the /filterules command.

Filter Rules

My current filter rules are rather simple, but I'll expand them as and when I feel like it, and try to remember to post the updated file here... feel free to use whatever you want from it.
