Well if we are opening it up to scripts, then I’ll offer up the following Pythonscript; I call it DeleteLinesWithClipboardText.py:
def DLWCT__main(): if not editor.getSelectionEmpty(): return # keep it simple; maybe prompt user to cancel selection and re-run... if not editor.canPaste(): return # keep it simple; maybe prompt user that no text is in clipboard... orig_document_len = editor.getTextLength() editor.beginUndoAction() editor.paste() pasted_text_len = editor.getTextLength() - orig_document_len curr_pos = editor.getCurrentPos() clipboard_text = editor.getTextRange(curr_pos - pasted_text_len, curr_pos) editor.deleteRange(curr_pos - pasted_text_len, pasted_text_len) if '\r' in clipboard_text or '\n' in clipboard_text: # keep it simple; don't allow multiline search text editor.endUndoAction() return del_line_list = [] find_start_pos = 0 while True: f = editor.findText(FINDOPTION.MATCHCASE, find_start_pos, editor.getTextLength(), clipboard_text) if f == None: break (found_start_pos, found_end_pos) = f line_nbr = editor.lineFromPosition(found_start_pos) if len(del_line_list) > 0: if del_line_list[0] != line_nbr: del_line_list.insert(0, line_nbr) else: del_line_list.append(line_nbr) find_start_pos = found_end_pos for line in del_line_list: editor.deleteLine(line) editor.endUndoAction() DLWCT__main()The only tricky part is in getting the clipboard data. I paste the clipboard contents into the document, read what was just pasted, and then delete those contents. After that it is a simple matter to locate the desired text and delete the lines it occurs on.
