-- important files --
  filter_mplus.pl
  default.conf.pl <-- original generic conf file
  misn.conf.pl    <-- new conf file

-- how to use --

Pull out some basic values:
  ./filter_mplus.pl -f model1lgdp0.out

Pull out A1, C1, and E1 by Y1:
  ./filter_mplus.pl -f misn500anegh1alt.out -c misn.conf.pl

The same, only append them to a simple CSV file:
  ./filter_mplus.pl -f misn500anegh1alt.out -c misn.conf.pl -o values.csv

Run this on a bunch of files:
  for file in `ls *.out`;
  do ./filter_mplus.pl -f $file -c misn.conf.pl -o test.csv;
  done

-- known problems --

* You'll get a false positive for the start text if it's not there.
* This should be smart enough to process multiple files, but it ain't.
* The command options should be more flexible.
* You'll get a blank line in the CSV file if it didn't find values.
