LFMonitor monitors the trade, guild, LFG and general channels for 'Looking For' requests from other players, and copies them to a separate window with an audio prompt. If required, a preconfigured response can be sent to the relevant player from a simple sub-menu

It can be customised to only catch specific trade requests or class requests for groups.

LFMonitor even tries to capture misspellings and variations, e.g. LF rouge, LF inscriptioner, etc.

If you notice any words that LFMonitor is missing or not correctly recognising, please advise me.

LFMonitor also supports basic and advanced custom monitoring. e.g. if you were looking for messages about Onyxia, you could type the following in the basic monitoring options box:

ony

That would match 'Onyxia', 'ony', 'ony10', 'ony25' etc. The downside is that it would also match 'ebony', 'irony', etc.

The advanced monitoring option can alleviate this somewhat, but requires a knowledge of lua pattern matching, e.g.

%sony

That would match all words preceeded by a space and starting with 'ony'

Another example used by LFMonitor itself is:

lf%d*m

That matches 'lfm', 'lf1m', 'lf2m', etc. %d means any digit, * means one or more of the preceeding match.
