Tip: Getting a totally "vain" address #22

Sometimes I find it hard to locate the desired string in many of the generated public keys. So I extend the search string with a "/" to give a visual separation. For example, search for "DELL/" instead of just "DELL"

If I have time, I will think about piping the output into a filter that only passes along uppercase characters in positions 1..n of the string (to make it even easier to identify).

Since we're talking about vanity here :-) burning a few CPU cycles seems like a good tradeoff. Thanks for making a delightful tool.
