Feature request: display only lines matching a pattern
It would be great if it was possible to filter lines so they contain only the lines that match a defined pattern. This would be similar to less
and its &pattern
feature. In addition to that, ov
could also accept that pattern as a command line argument and do the filtering from the very start of ov
's execution. It should also work with all the --follow-*
modes.
This way, we could omit the use of grep
and similar in the middle of a pipeline like: <some command> | grep --line-buffered pattern | ov --follow-mode
