Filter Response by Word Count & Line Count

Section titled “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.

-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)
