filtering Filtering things in DXSpider
There are a number of things you can filter in the DXSpider system. They +all use the same general mechanism.
+In general terms you can create a 'reject' or an 'accept' filter which +can have up to 10 lines in it. You do this using, for example:-
+accept/spots ..... +reject/spots .....
+where ..... are the specific commands for that type of filter. There +are filters for spots, wwv, announce, wcy and (for sysops) +connects. See each different accept or reject command reference for +more details.
+There is also a command to clear out one or more lines in a filter and +one to show you what you have set. They are:-
+clear/spots 1 +clear/spots all
+and
+show/filter
+There is clear/xxxx command for each type of filter.
+For now we are going to use spots for the examples, but you can apply +the principles to all types of filter.
+There are two main types of filter 'accept' or 'reject'; which you use +depends entirely on how you look at the world and what is least +writing to achieve what you want. Each filter has 10 lines (of any +length) which are tried in order. If a line matches then the action +you have specified is taken (ie reject means ignore it and accept +means gimme it).
+The important thing to remember is that if you specify a 'reject' +filter (all the lines in it say 'reject/spots' (for instance) then if +a spot comes in that doesn't match any of the lines then you will get +it BUT if you specify an 'accept' filter then any spots that don't +match are dumped. For example if I have a one line accept filter:-
+accept/spots on vhf and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+then automatically you will ONLY get VHF spots from or to CQ zones 14 +15 and 16. If you set a reject filter like:
+reject/spots on hf/cw
+Then you will get everything EXCEPT HF CW spots, If you am interested in IOTA +and will work it even on CW then you could say:-
+reject/spots on hf/cw and not info iota
+But in that case you might only be interested in iota and say:-
+accept/spots not on hf/cw or info iota
+which is exactly the same. You should choose one or the other until +you are confortable with the way it works. Yes, you can mix them +(actually you can have an accept AND a reject on the same line) but +don't try this at home until you can analyse the results that you get +without ringing up the sysop for help.
+You can arrange your filter lines into logical units, either for your +own understanding or simply convenience. I have one set frequently:-
+reject/spots 1 on hf/cw +reject/spots 2 on 50000/1400000 not (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+What this does is to ignore all HF CW spots (being a class B I can't +read any CW and couldn't possibly be interested in HF :-) and also +rejects any spots on VHF which don't either originate or spot someone +in Europe.
+This is an exmaple where you would use the line number (1 and 2 in +this case), if you leave the digit out, the system assumes '1'. Digits +'0'-'9' are available.
+You can leave the word 'and' out if you want, it is implied. You can +use any number of brackets to make the 'expression' as you want +it. There are things called precedence rules working here which mean +that you will NEED brackets in a situation like line 2 because, +without it, will assume:-
+(on 50000/1400000 and by_zone 14,15,16) or call_zone 14,15,16
+annoying, but that is the way it is. If you use OR - use +brackets. Whilst we are here CASE is not important. 'And BY_Zone' is +just 'and by_zone'.
+If you want to alter your filter you can just redefine one or more +lines of it or clear out one line. For example:-
+reject/spots 1 on hf/ssb
+or
+clear/spots 1
+To remove the filter in its entirty:-
+clear/spots all
+There are similar CLEAR commands for the other filters:-
+clear/announce +clear/wcy +clear/wwv
+ADVANCED USERS:-
+Once you are happy with the results you get, you may like to experiment.
+my example that filters hf/cw spots and accepts vhf/uhf spots from EU +can be written with a mixed filter, eg:
+rej/spot on hf/cw +acc/spot on 0/30000 +acc/spot 2 on 50000/1400000 and (by_zone 14,15,16 or call_zone 14,15,16)
+each filter slot actually has a 'reject' slot and an 'accept' +slot. The reject slot is executed BEFORE the accept slot.
+It was mentioned earlier that after a reject test that doesn't match, +the default for following tests is 'accept', the reverse is true for +'accept'. In the example what happens is that the reject is executed +first, any non hf/cw spot is passed to the accept line, which lets +thru everything else on HF.
+The next filter line lets through just VHF/UHF spots from EU.
