Question

This is a javascript program that uses twitter API to "scrape" tweets off of a user's profile and output the text. I only want this script to output the lines that do not start with "RT @." In other words, I only want the program to output the tweets tweeted by the profile and not to output the retweets on the profile. This needs to work for other situations so setting i to "9" won't help. Please see the code and the output below.

Here is the output of the code above:

I only want the output to output the lines that do not contain "RT @"!!! Please help!!

var handle = 'myiostsoul'; T.get('statuses/user_timeline', ( screen_name: handle, count: 20, exclude_replies: true, function (err, data, response) if (data) for (var 1.0 ; 1data.length; 1++) console.log (data[i].text); L1)

Explanation / Answer

<!-- Please read this comment.

Replace your function with this:

function(err, data, response){

if(data){

for(var i=0;i<data.length.i++){

var sentence=data[i].text;

if(!sentence.startsWith("RT @")){

console.log(sentence);

}

}

}

}

A demo program is given below for sample testing.

-->

<script>

var sentence1="RT @HorrorBible: icons of horror";

var sentence2="I love programming";

if(!sentence1.startsWith("RT @")){

console.log(sentence1);

}

if(!sentence2.startsWith("RT @")){

console.log(sentence2);

}

</script>

<p>Hello</p>
