Yea I see it being a bit more useful for something that may not come up all too often.

Like a dragon?

This is quite cool. I added similar functionality to my spawn timer. Mine plays a wav file rather than sending a text. I might not have bothered with that feature if I'd seen this sooner.

Yea those don't show up too often, but when they do, it's good to get the first bid in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is a great program and all, but have you thought about a catchier name, say Jack Wilson's Auction Tracker?

In the interest of cutting down on potential spam, I've added an option to stop processing after the first successful match. This option will be enabled by default:

Updated source code and zipped executable are available using the same links in the first post, or from the links in my sig.

Made a few additional updates, including adding the count to the window title so if it's minimized you can tell at a glance how many matches so far, and also expanded the file filters in the open file dialog.

Few additional updates:

-Sent tab renamed to Processed
-Added Sent column to Processed list indicating whether match was sent via text
-Added Clear button to the Processed tab so previous matches can be cleared out

Just a quick side note: I've been using this in "quiet" mode a bit recently, with Enabled unchecked so it does not sent a text but will add any matches to the list, and it's worked out pretty well in allowing me to catch items on my watch list when I am able to pay closer attention to the screen. I may also add an option to play a sound when a match is found as an alternative to sending a text.
