Hi, Thank you everyone for your last replies.
Everything you suggested works as expected. Bottom line: * less: no quick/immediate way (i.e. like a shortcut) to save only the filter output. One needs to pipe through `grep` with the same filter(s) in `less` shell * vim (but it certainly works for other editors as well): indeed, this kind of operation is "basic" for such an advanced editor ;) One just needs to remember how to do that (I think there is no other way to learn vim than using it everyday otherwise one forgets rapidly)... I like vim a lot but I don't really know why but sometimes I like `less` simplicity (i.e. few things to remember) hence my initial question :) NB in vim: `v/pattern/d` = `g!/pattern/d` Thanks again! Best regards, l0f4r0
