With version 1.6.1 you can use perl Regular expressions and a single filter:
[(SHU)|(MAC)|(HER)] would work
In version 1.7.8 normal regular expressions have been disabled due to users
incorrectly putting things like *@host.com in the field, and causing cscget to
crash.	I am working on implimenting an option (with the appropriate warning)
to allow an experienced user to have the power of true regex's and yet protect
the inexperienced.  Even with 1.7.8 though, you can still get the same results,
but it takes three filters.
