isReply helper function #126

Closed nikkilr88 closed 7 years ago

nikkilr88 commented 7 years ago

I am still pretty new at this... Is this what you were looking for?

Would that be an if statement inside of your try block then?

spences10 commented 7 years ago

I think if we get rid of the try and use the isReply function in an if it should do the trick, you think?

spences10 commented 7 years ago

Closes #120

spences10 commented 7 years ago

Ok, looks great, you tested this on your own bot I presume @nikkilr88? 🙏 👍

nikkilr88 commented 7 years ago

@spences10 Yes, my bot uses the isReply function, and so far everything is running smoothly. It filters out retweets and quoted tweets.

Brilliant, thank you ❤️
