+## Output Filtering
+
+The tool supports filtering unwanted lines from command output using regular expressions in the `exclude` field of device types.
+
+### How Exclude Patterns Work
+
+- **Regex matching**: Each line of command output is tested against all exclude patterns
+- **Line removal**: Lines matching any pattern are completely removed from the output file
+- **Per-device type**: Exclude patterns are defined at the device type level and apply to all devices of that type
+
+### Common Use Cases

+  routeros:
+    commands:
+      - / export terse
+    exclude:

+      - "^# .../../.... ..:..:.. by RouterOS"   # Alternative date format

 For each device, a text file named after the hostname is created in the specified directory. Each command output is prefixed with "## COMMAND: <command_name>" for easy identification.
