Feature request: excludes for search

[Oleg Fedko]

I can easily using regexp find lines that have few substrings.

For example:

cat|dog

But it is very difficult to exclude now from cats or dogs something else.

I would like to have second "exclude in search" text field.

It is useful pattern for logs analysis. For example I want to see logs from some subsystem but I need to exclude some spamming messages from it.

Or what would work for me would be to have negative look ahead and look behind in the regular expression and would cover this - I think they are in the pcre library
Also showing the captured groups in the filtered results tab would be good.
I agree on the save filtered view to a text file.

Also a check box to get the non matched results would be helpful  - I'm often looking at a text file, say a log file,  to find out the types of lines.
I write a regular expression for each type and I need to know what types I've not addressed

Thanks for your work.

When I try to run a look behind regex I get an error message referring to QTBUG-2371.

That claims to have been fixed in QT 5.0.0 (according to their Jira).

But it look likes the QT libraries included in glogg are named Qt5*, not really version 5+?
