[Kst] how to filter "live" data

[Ben Lewis]

Hi Dan,

There is a provision in the ASCII data wizard to nominate a character(s) as a comment indicator. I 
presume this has the effect of filtering out the remaining characters on the line (I've never used 
it). It's a long shot but if the lines you want to filter out all begin with the same character and 
this character does not appear in the lines you want to keep this might work for you.

Regards, Ben
