I've found a way for the time being...
1. Go to listoftweets.com
enter a keyword where it says search tweets and search
It gives you a 100 tweets, now click copy all as TEXT...and save the next to notepad
or I like to use Edit Pad Pro
2. You will know have a 100 tweets but the format will be all messed up with dates, @, etc.
So what you do is find a program or a site that can delete certain lines that contains phrases you don't like. I found a site called hxxp://textmechanic.com/Remove-Lines-of-Text-Containing.html
Once you get to this site you basically, paste your text file in the large box and where it says search for lines you're going to enter
- @
-
http://twitter
- and lastly whatever date is listed in your tweets for example.. all of the tweets I'm looking to copy now say Sun Aug 14.. so I would just search for lines containing "Sun Aug" or I could do "Aug" if I had various dates in the tweets
3. Now you're going to have alot of whitespaces. You can delete these easily with Edit pad Pro by going to "Delete All Blank Lines" It's a little more complicated with notepad, as you have to do search and replace I believe. Edit Pad Pro is worth it anyway.. Its $5 but You should be able to find it for free.
It seems like alot of work but its really a fast process.
