"restrict extractions to host" =

I'd love to be able to start typing an IP address and it would fill in OR if they were in numerical or alphabetical order. Aside form that it's absolutely awesome.

Hey this thing really works. Try it you'll like it.

I have a project that will require about 30 field extractions to be created and this will make it childs play.

More review later after the project is complete.
