Thanks kunkel321, irkregent and skwire.

I made it for myself as many times I needed to look at just interested lines in change.log, whats new text of other apps or error log of my own apps.
Fast Filter Text helps me to quickly check those lines without loading a full fledged text editor. Also the files remain unchanged.
