 **command** is command to be executed when regexp matches. Its output will be mixed with normal stdout, use redirectors (`>/dev/null`) if you want to suppress it.
 
+**concat** is the name of a file which the current line will be appended to when the regexp matches.
+
 **skip** can be `skip=yes`, if that case the matched line is skipped (discarded from the output), or `skip=no`, when it is not skipped. Default (if you do not have skip keyword) is of course not skipped.
 
 **replace** means the regular expression match will be replaced by the value. All the preceeding regular expressions will be evaluated against the original text, but if they match and the replacement changes the length of the text, the colouring will *stay at the same positions*, which is probably not what you want - therefore put the `replace` rule preferrably at the beginning of config file.
