Passing Text to a Subfilter

Hello Friends!)
I have been trying to create a filter which will ONLY operate on a HTML file if text pipe initially finds a KEY TEXT STRING (3A) in the file? I have been suggested this EASYPATTERN:

Code: Select all

[ textStart, longest 0+ chars ]3A[longest 0+ chars, textEnd ]
But do not know how to employ it - do I create the REPLACE FILTER AND PASS MATCHING TEXT TO SUB-FILTER (does not work for me:((
Thank you very much
Dim

Yes, the replace string is either set to
$0
or use the Action: PASS MATCHING TEXT TO SUB-FILTER

Then add the actual replacements you want to perform as a subfilter.
