Drafts Directory: Create filtered copy

Action

Posted by derick, Last update over 6 years ago

Creates a copy of the current draft containing lines that match a string or regex. Copy will have the same tags and syntax as the original. Optionally add a tag with the filter.

Aspires to grow up to be grep.
