    I’m doing heavy work on a txt file that stores a lot of data. All elements in the file have the same attributes. For example “Name=(string)”, next line “InternalName=(string)”, then on the next element, Name= and InternalName= appear again with different values. I’d like to only display specific lines, some starting with “Name=”, for example, so I can hide the rest of the file and avoid a ton of scrolling down. Is this possible at all?

    Thanks

      Seems you could do a search on the whole active file to your pattern and then look just at the search result window. Which has a link back to the origin if you click that line.
