[]------------------------------------------------------[]
| FINDMULT.VBS v08.226: Filters STDIN (multiple filters) |
[]------------------------------------------------------[]

This program filters text input from stdin (piped or redirected).
Due to a windows bug you must specifically run via CSCRIPT and not let it
default to using CSCRIPT (which forces you to specify path - thanks MS!)!
You can specify as many rules for inclusion (+) or exclusion (+) as you wish.

There are 2 types of rules the first is a simple rule, "*" matches all
and anything else matches if it exists in a stdin line (case sensitive match).
The second type is a regular expression, this is indicated by beginning
the string with "RE:" (in any case) - if the case was "Re:" then the
regular expression is case insensitive.
Rule order is important as the first match is applied.

Blank lines or those starting with ";" in the rule file(s) are ignored, all
others specify one or more rules (per line), the first character is used as a
delimiter, for example "/+rule 1/" or "!-rule 1!+Rule 2 !".
