Hi All,

I am looking to identify the simplest way to extract various elements from a
tweet, e.g. All the hashtags into an array, all the links in the tweet into
an array, and some "watched terms".

For example from a Tweet that was "@QR2id is testing @AmtacHQ #newtest
@ismcpi #success https://t.co/DnhFPnGZ0i http://t.co/xFRurBzl6w" ...
.... I would want to generate the following:

Links array('https://t.co/DnhFPnGZ0i', 'http://t.co/xFRurBzl6w')

Hashtag array('#newtest', '#success')

Username array('@QR2id', '@AmtacHQ','@ismcpi')

Watched term array('test') // extracted from "testing" where the watched
term list may have included array('Test','Cricket','Foo','Bah').

I have started playing with regular expressions but it is getting a little
complex for my skill level and I think there may be a more elegant /
efficient way.

Any pointers would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks and very best regards,

Rick
