Delete all lines NOT containing ….

[Salabim]

Hi,

Can you help me out, which function or snippet, or macro is able to do this :

In an open text file, delete all lines that DO NOT contain the word the user entered in a prompt, or perhaps lines that DO NOT contain the word currently in the Clipboard cache.

I have a big text file open, and I would like to filter out all lines that DO NOT contain the string “China”.

Can you help me please ?

Hi,

There’s a macro in the Library here. It extracts lines not containing a specified string to a new file.

Give it a try, hope that helps :-)
