I am not 100% sure what you mean but i added sample data.

In total i have 2 filters which run over different stages of the same file.

The word filter will be run first as that is when i still have all the data to look for those. After that it will be cut and processed to a near finished file which then filters against the other EAN filter to remove the last lines which arent needed.

Technically it should be fine if they are in 1 filter file (and loop in the beginning) but that would probably make the code really complicated i guess.

NAME

       mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups

DESCRIPTION

       The  mime.convs  file  defines the filters that are available for converting files from one format to another. The standard filters support
       text, PDF, PostScript, HP-GL/2, and many types of image files.

       Additional filters can be added to the mime.convs file or (preferably) to other files in the CUPS configuration directory.

       Each line in the mime.convs file is a comment, blank, or filter line. Comment lines start with the # character. Filter  lines  specify  the
       source and destination MIME types along with a relative cost associated with the filter and the filter to run:

       super/type super/type cost filter
       application/postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 50 pstoraster
