Mechanism for partial line matches/ignores

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm frustrated that the "ignore" matches are for the full line. I want to ignore part of a "line". In the screenshot below I would like to ignore from "Offer ends" onwards, as the date changes and the "View more" wording is added and removed periodically. However, I would still like to trigger a match if the actual "2 for $16" offer changes (eg becomes "3 for $22") image

Describe the solution you'd like Ignore lines could be partial matches, with regex allowing people to match on full lines if they choose to, via the use of ".*" and ^/$ beginning/end line position anchors.

Describe the use-case and give concrete real-world examples Per screenshot above, I would like to match on the "2 for $16" text changing, but ignore the date change on the same line.
