Assuming that the output being displayed on your xterm is from a command
that you run, pipe the output through grep.
Eg: Let us say you are listing the 2000 files in a directory and want to
look only at files that end in .html, do the following:
$ ls -l | grep '.html'
The philosophy of unix is to have small well designed tools that do one
thing extremely well. Any complex task is easily solved (with sufficient
intellectual stimulation in the process) by linking together these smaller
tools.
