Description Michael Y CLA 2004-07-03 15:19:33 EDT 
Request a feature so that you can filter the consoles output to lines 
containing a specific phrase. This is useful for debugging when there is a lot 
of output.

Many times developers prefix a specific output line, e.g. "LASTNAME: Smith"

So if you could filter for "LASTNAME:" would be great.

But often you need to see just more than one particular phrase, because data 
is related to each other. So the filter ability should be able to filter to 
lines containing any of a list of Strings.

e.g. filter for "LASTNAME:" and "FIRSTNAME:"

Also, should be able to save these Filter sets for reuse later.
