Restrict Filter - Matching Lines (grep) - Extract data?

[MelSeven]

Hi,

I use a lot of Restrict to Matching Lines (grep) filters like this one (in a text file with fixed position fields):

^.{74}(WANT01-001-003MA1.*|HPEN3-020-01.*|HPEN3-018-01.*|BBTH05-001-001MA1.*|MOLE6-013-02.*).{1893}$

Is it possible with these filters to extract / link to a CSV file, text file or similar instead of having a list a items in the filter? Sometimes I want this data to change and currently I have to update this in the Matching Lines filter, which is a bit tedious and time-consuming.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Not with that filter, but you can with Filters\Restrict\Restrict to lines matching pattern list
