Quick tips
- Text areas have lines delimited by \n
- if you have the text in a filter you can use splitregexp[\n]] to split
it into each line, then split again on split[:]] to get the first[] item or
the fieldname:value
- text must be handled differently as its multiline.
- you can then join[] back as needed.
- Note the fieldname:values resembles a datatiddler format, and may
present an opportunity.
