## Usage

```

RSS Filter

Usage:

  RSS-filter

  RSS-filter -e | --edit

  RSS-filter -h | --help

  RSS-filter -l | --list

  RSS-filter -s | --starred

Options:

  -h --help       Show this message.

  -e --edit       Edit the filters with your default editor.

  -l --list       List feed titles.

  -s --starred    Apply filters to starred entries only.

```

Specify some filters, then run manually or write a cron job—something like

```

0 6,4 * * * RSS-filter > /dev/null

```

Run summaries are logged to a file in the config directory.

## Filters

The filters file is JSON. Comments are allowed.

The format is 

```js

{

    // Every feed

    "*": ["regex"],

    // Specific feeds

    "feed title": ["regex"]

}

```

where `regex` is a [Python Regular Expression](http://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax).

Items in the named feed with titles that match the regex are marked as read.

Filters for the feed title `*` are applied to every feed.

Note the irregular behaviour of backslash-escapes—in practice, repeat them.

E.g. to match a `[` in the item title, the regex should be `"\\["`.

Watch out for HTML entities (e.g. `&`) in item and feed titles. If a regex that should be matching isn't, that's probably why.
