A convincing combination to ignore certain lines of code?

Question

I use Meld to spot the differences between two similar fortran code sets. In many cases, the only difference between the two files is the automated version number. This line pretends that there are more differences than it should be, and this is confusing.

An automatic line with a version number is something like

 !! $Id: filename.F90 v#### YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SSx username $  

Is it possible to convince meld to ignore all lines similar to this line? I do not want meld to ignore all comments, since some differences in the comments are important.
