Re: Delete line if REGEX == true

in reply to Delete line if REGEX == true

Its very easy to do. I just do in a find replace window that excepts regular expressions if "brother" is the string your looking for heres an example. Replace ^.*brother.*\n with nothing ( blank)

that wont remove lines without the "brother string" so... 1 2 3 brother 3 2 1 4 5 6 sister 7 8 9 will reduce to brother 4 5 6 sister 7 8 9 which then becomes the problem as originally stated.	[reply]
