There is no need to get involved in regular expressions. A report filter
is an inclusion list, so to exclude items we start them with a minus
sign, and then put on a trailing * to include everything else. See the
brand new pattern documentation for a few more details:
<http://summary.net/manual/glossary.html#pattern>.

Your example should look like this:

-of
-the
-and
-etc.

Good Luck

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
