Description Jacek Pliszka 2019-01-02 15:02:51 UTC 
Description:
Add regular expression filter option to Text Import window

Sometimes csv files are very large and there is no need to import the full file.
It would be convenient to have extra option

Keep only rows matching regular expression: [     ]

And then when reading in rows not matching the expression would be skipped.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run libreoffice some.csv
2. Text Import window appears with new option
3. Only rows matching the regexp would be kept

Actual Results:
No such option

Expected Results:
Only rows matching the regexp would be kept


Reproducible: Always

Also I do have some programming skills so maybe I could add it myself but I would need guidance:

1. how to get approval for such feature

2. which places to change
