Cool feature, I'd like to see something like that in IDEA.

Subject: [Eap-features] Selective Text Display


I am an ex-Kawa user that is very impressed with this much superior product.
The one feature that I miss is a feature called selective text display. I
used that feature to filter debug log out to only contain certain lines that
I was interested in. For those of you that never used this feature, what it
did is allow the user to enter a regular expression, that the editor then
applied to the lines of the file being edited. When applied the expression
transformed the editors text display into a tree with the items matching the
regular expression as the root nodes and any other text as leaves under
those nodes. Is there any chance of ever getting something like this? I
looked quickly in the archives but didn't find any requests of this nature.

Example:
For a file with the following lines:

Line EXP 1
Line 2
Line EXP 3
Line EXP 4
Line 5

a regular expression of "EXP." produced :

+ Line EXP 1
   Line EXP 3
+ Line EXP 4

opening the tree resulted in:

+ Line EXP 1
   Line 2
   Line EXP 3
+ Line EXP 4
   Line 5

Thanks,
/Luke
