cut whole lines and paste them to a new file?

[reginald]

Hi,

first I want to say that EmEditor is a great tool.
There is one question I want to ask.

Is there a way to cut whole lines that contain a specified phrase and paste them to a new file?

Let me explain a bit. For example there is a file that contains the following lines:

test-AB-test
test-AA-test
test-AA1-test
test-AC-test
test-AA2-test
test-AD-test

I search for “AA” and EmEditor cut these lines and generates a new file with the lines:

test-AA-test
test-AA1-test
test-AA2-test

The original file now contains only these lines without “AA”:

test-AB-test
test-AC-test
test-AD-test

The new generated file with the “AA”-lines can be saved with a new name.

I tried several ways with “regular expressions” or “search and replace” but I couldn´t find out how the whole lines are cut out of the original file.

Any help available?
Thanks a lot in advance for support.

I wrote similar macros before:

Macro that extracts lines that contain the specified string
/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=8&lid=169

Macro that extracts lines that do not contain the specified string
/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=8&lid=170

You can run these macros, or you can combine these macros and run once.

Thanks a lot, Yatuka, that combination of macros works… :lol:
