The Pattern Dialog

The Add/Edit Pattern Dialog.

Pattern

Here you can enter a regular expression that will be used to search for lines to omit.

For convenience, there are buttons to the right to supply patterns for some commonly omitted items.

Lines to Skip

This field indicates how many lines should be omitted with each match. You might use this, for example, if you know that there are 2 lines of page headers after each page break. Most of the time this field will be 1.
