Filter by Word/Line Count

Filter Response by Word Count & Line Count

In addition to filtering on the size of a response, version 1.6.0 added the ability to filter out responses based on the number of lines and/or words contained within the response body. This change drove a change to the information displayed to the user as well. This section will detail the new information and how to make use of it with the new filters provided.

Relevant CLI options

    -N, --filter-lines <LINES>...                 
            Filter out messages of a particular line count (ex: -N 20 -N 31,30)

    -W, --filter-words <WORDS>...                 
            Filter out messages of a particular word count (ex: -W 312 -W 91,82)
