I am using the mxj searchtweet object to pull twitter feeds into max.

Does anyone know how to remove hyperlinks from a message object?

I have been using the regexp object to remove the symbols cannot figure out how to remove the full hyperlinks.

"#millennials want #e2016 candidates who willchange most @obama policies 

 @theweek #boomers #teen #genx #teaparty #ows"

"#millennials want #e2016 candidates who willchange most @obama policies @theweek #boomers #teen #genx #teaparty #ows"

For example for this tweet:
"#millennials want #e2016 candidates who willchange most @obama policies http://t.co/wj0s9b8scs @theweek #boomers #teen #genx #teaparty #ows"

I would like to read:
"#millennials want #e2016 candidates who willchange most @obama policies @theweek #boomers #teen #genx #teaparty #ows"

If you don't mind, how do the meta characters you put in the regexp work in layman's terms?

I noticed that the first part of any tweets with a comma (,) in the text gets removed using the patch you shared.

Example: Obama returns to father's homeland with history, security on his mind: By Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters... #news

Becomes: security on his mind: By Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters... #news

Hi Broc,
I noticed that the first part of any tweets with a comma (,) in the text gets removed using the patch you shared. 

Do you know why this is happening?
Thank you again!!!


Comma in a message box has the special meaning that parts are sent sequentially (see also help file).

So the part before comma may be overwritten by sending the next part after comma.
