About the Text Line Filter

The Text Line Filter lets you extract specific lines from a text block based on a keyword, keeping only what's relevant and discarding the rest.

Log files, reports, and pasted data dumps are often full of lines you don't need for the task at hand. Scrolling through hundreds of lines looking for the ones that mention a specific error, customer, or setting wastes time. This tool checks every line against your keyword and returns only the matches, instantly turning a wall of text into just the handful of lines you actually care about.
