I am sorry, I should have been more clear. Instead of using the word "filter" in my example, I probably should have used the word "expander." The little app turns cryptic messages in the log into longer, human-readable messages -- this is what I would like to post to Hobbit.

I have a log file that I need to pass through a filter

Why not just use the ignore feature to have hobbit filter out
the things that you dont want it to see?
