Extracting list of usernames from tweets

[hakunamatata187]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find a way how to extract usernames from specifc tweets that I than can use to block those accounts. I think I found a way how to extract ID's but not actual usernames for the blocklist.

Preferably I'd like to extract only usernames of people that commented on those specific posts.

you want to do it as a one off or regular?

If a one off, just load the file into a text editor (notepad++)
search and replace (cntr+h)
search: https://twitter.com/
replace:

or
search: https://mobile.twitter.com/
replace:
as required (or bot)

then in search and replace select REGEX mode
search: /status/[0-9]+$
replace:


where replace in both cases is empty
then
