I just got POST statuses/update working but I’m now trying to figure out the best way of stripping out special commands. I tried replacing the first character with a “no-break space” (%A0). However twitter translated this to an unknown character with (e.g. M<?>Username tweet).
The only other option I can think of is creating a regex which strips out all potentially hazardous SMS code. This isn’t ideal since I would prefer to keep the raw tweet. Such as tweeting: “D Day was an alright movie.” would result in “Day was an alright movie.”
I also tried entering a space before the post but it just got ignored. Is there some sort of escape character?
