Filter file

The Filter file describes filters that are added in the Find and Replace Filters dialog of the Retriever and consists of a sequence of lines of ""- delimited string pairs. The first string is added to the menu and the second string is the regular filter expression that is applied on selecting the corresponding menu entry. In formulating a filter criterion,

%s can be inserted several times, which will be expanded with the actual match for every retrieved source line. The location of the filter file can be specified in the Filter File field in the Retriever view of the Preferences. By default, the filter file is located in the $SNIFF_DIR/config/Filters directory.
