Formats
Formats control how the output from a command is parsed. The most important reason for parsing output is to determine which lines of output contain references to files. This allows for clicking on that line to cause the editor to open that reference. Formats can also be useful when the output does not contain file references. For example, formats can help "mark" portions of the output so it is easier to read. 

In the following simple example, lines of output from a ls -l command are shown as both raw and parsed output. 

If we add these two simple format instructions to <...>/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.dstore.miners/patterns.dat:  

           command: ls.*
                    file   file    pattern=.*\d{2}:\d{2} ([\w,.]*)
        
each output line matching the pattern will have the icon prepended, and when we click on one of these lines, the corresponding file will be opened in the editor.  When we run the command again we get:
