Filter line for current opening file by strings/regular expressions, generating the result in a new file.
Features
Filter line by input string (or not contain input string).
Filter line by input regular expression (or not match input regular expression).
Filter line by config file filterline.json(or filterline.eoml) in corresponding .vscode directory.
Usage

Open command palette (⇧⌘p) and type filterline, select Filter Line By Input String in the list.
Type a string and hit <Enter>.
The extension will output matching lines in a new file with postfix .filterline.$(ext) (e.g. 1.log will generate file 1.log.filterline.log).

Open Command Palette (⇧⌘P) and type FilterLine, select Filter Line By Input Regex in the list.
Type a regular expression and hit <Enter>.
The extension will output matching lines in a new file with postfix .filterline.$(ext) (e.g. 1.log will generate file 1.log.filterline.log).
Filter line by config file
Create config file in .vscode directory (e.g. .vscode/filterline.json or .vscode/filterline.eoml).
Edit the filterline.json/.eoml file to desired format.
Open command palette (⇧⌘p) and type filterline, select Filter Line By Config File in the list.
Large file mode
Since vscode's limitation, when filter large files (e.g. >= 50MB), vscode extension can not get the file name currently opened. But this extension provide an alternative. e.g. if you want to filter large file ~/log/file.log, do follow steps below :
Create an empty file named filterline ( ~/log/filterline) in the same directory with log file.
Try to filter the empty file filterline.
Now the extension will list all files in the same directory.
Choose the one (~/log/file.log) you want to filter.
Config file type
There are 2 file types filterline.json and filterline.eoml.
eoml is a simple config file format that created by me(everettjf), only for this project(vscode-filter-line) at present. For more information, please visit eoml.
Config file format type
There are 3 format types. As they are so simple, I will not describe them here. Please visit the demo directly :
