  3. Pick 'Remove lines containing' or 'Keep lines containing'.
  4. Turn on regex or case-insensitive matching if needed.
  5. Copy or save the filtered result.

What is Filter Lines by Substring?

This is a browser-side mini grep: type a substring or a regular expression and either remove every matching line or keep only the matching lines. It is helpful for trimming logs, scrubbing email lists, or pulling specific entries out of a long file. The case-insensitive toggle changes both substring and regex matching.
