Winmerge 2011 Linefilter doesn't work
It seems that line filter doesn't work for a while in Winmerge 2011. I'm installe the latest release, which is 0.2011.211.182.
I've some Oracle APEX application export files (PL/SQL) where I want to filter out those lines which contains a "=>wwv_flow_api.id(xxx)" call anywhere in the current file. xxx always means an integer number.
I set a regular expression in the Tools|Filters|Linefilter and enabled it also. But after refreshing the compare nothing has changed at all. If I select this kind of line in the compare window and also select the referenced line filter the test case will underscore the whole line with green color (which should means the regexp search was success?)
I appreciate some help in this case. Thanks.
I cannot confirm this issue. Regexp "=>wwv_flow_api.id(\d+)" seems to yield expected results. Since it might depend on settings, can you share the outcome of Help → Configuration?

From your screenshot it occurs to me that line filters might be disabled altogether, as per the option at the top of the Filters dialog:
no, it isn't disabled. I tried with different type of regular expressions that's why the line filter differs on the screenshots.
Can you share the involved files? Does the situation change when you uncheck the other line filters?
Yes, when I cleared a couple of line filter options, the comparison ignored the id value differences between the rows what contains the "wwv_flow_api.id()" reference
page_00202_SIDEA.sql.txt page_00202_SIDEB.sql.txt .
Can you share your LineFilters.ini? Although I lost focus on this project, I'd like to understand and fix the bug.
Where are the exact locations of the configuration files? The location used under Option|System|Supplement Folder points to my My Documents\Winmerge folder. But the LineFilters.ini does not contain my custom line filters I set.
Oops, I didn't remember that line filters entered through GUI are stored in the Windows registry.
Can you export them to a file?
(Un)fortunately, the 0.2011.211.182 build is not among released ones, and meanwhile disappeared from AppVeyor.
This is what I get with your exact set of line filters, using this fresh build from the latest commit:
I'm not aware of a relevant change since 0.2011.211.182 though, so I still cannot explain the effect you are seeing.
