David-

The filter command uses a subset of regex. I've got BZ #2805 filed to expand 
the regex syntax used.

Jerry's regex string "[-ofsgOFSG][-nueNUE][> ntNT]*" is a great little 
filter for scanning through scripts looking for handlers: it will catch 
occurrences of lines starting with things like

"-->", "on ", "fun", "GET" etc.

The regex expands to

[first char][second char][third char]followed by any number of chars
