Simple addon to filter text

I'd like to filter out the 

"Unable to use job ability"

"Time left"

"not enough tp"

yada yada yada cause it gets really annoying

got this so far

require('sets')


filter = S{
    '* does not have enough *',
    'Unable to use *',
    '* Left: *',
    '* can only use that command during *'


}


windower.register_event('incoming text', function(text)
    for match in filter:it() do
        return windower.wc_match(text, match)
    end
end)
 

What do you mean by higher level text? And do you mean that it does not filter out the other entries in there?

It can actually be simplified a bit more:
 

require('sets')
 
filter = S{
    '* does not have enough *',
    'Unable to use *',
    '* Left: *',
    '* can only use that command during *',
}
 
windower.register_event('incoming text', function(text)
    return filter:any(windower.wc_match+{text})
end)

That works perfectly thank you! for some reason the way I had it before didn't work but this does o_O

It's difficult to read anything while doing a CP party so I've been using something along these lines. This is much nicer than how I was doing it, so I'll gladly adopt this. I assume this is also undetectable by SE?

Is there a way to restrict this filter to only work with particular zones? ie; Woh Gates, Yorcia Weald (U) etc.

require('sets')
 
filter = S{
    -- filter strings here ...
}

zones = S{
    273, -- Woh Gates
    264, -- Yorcia Weald [U]
}
 
windower.register_event('incoming text', function(text)
    return zones:contains(windower.ffxi.get_info().zone)
        and filter:any(windower.wc_match+{text})
end)

You are a life saver! I was trying to work it out using zone:match earlier and had failed ; ;

Thank you for the help! It's nice to filter out all this junk that SE won't let us do normally

require('sets')
 
filter = S{
    	'* が足りない *', --* does not have enough *
    	'* 使うことができない', --Unable to use *
    	'* 残り *',  --* Left: *
    	'* はコマンドを実行できない *', --* can only use that command during *
}
 
windower.register_event('incoming text', function(text)
    	return filter:any(windower.wc_match+{text})
end)

Hello everyone!

Can somebody tell me how i can make this code work in japanese environment?

The incoming text event is passed strings in Shift_JIS encoding. So you either need to make sure your filter strings are in Shift_JIS, or convert the game text to your file's encoding.

Thank you Iryoku!

I saved file as Shift_JIS and it worked! (^-^)
