(Pro version only)

This filter only keeps text (not lines) that match a regular expression. All other text is discarded. If you do not need this filters ability to also include the current filename and line number, you should use the Extract option of the Find and Replace filter because it is far more flexible.

Extract Matches

The string or pattern to find. The string can be found anywhere on a line or over multiple lines. The right-click (or context) menu on this field supports Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Clear Entire Field, Select All and Select All And Copy, entering special characters and inserting pattern match characters.

Ignore Case

When checked, the case of the string found doesn't have to be identical to the Match Pattern exactly.

Output Count of Matches

When checked, outputs a count of the number of matches in each file.

Include Filename

When checked, outputs the filename prior to showing its matches.
