Good point!
The edge case I can think of is someone mentioning someone at the end of a sentence and not adding a space at the end:
"Nice post by @username.Check it out" --> [@username.Check]
If the period is followed by a space then we can make sure the regex doesn't match it, only if word characters follow it.
Are there other characters that need to be handled?
Thanks for reporting.
Hi Elias,
Comments on Instagram that include mentions with periods are currently truncated on
advertools.__version__ = 0.14.2
. Example:@elias.dabbas -> [@elias]
I propose adding adding a
.
to the MENTIONS in the REGEX module.This change works for me, but I haven't tested edge cases or other social media platforms.
