Filtering FIle Types

[Peter Haworth]

In that case, the new filter command lets you put the output into a second
variable:

filter lines of tFiles with regex pattern ".*\.jpg|png" into tFilteredFiles

That way, tFiles will not be changed and tFilteredFiles will contain the
result of the filter command
