        Hello, @renso-petrulli,

        Very easy, indeed ! You should have tried the Regular expression mode, instead :-))

        SEARCH (?-i)^Date.*\R?

        REPLACE Leave EMPTY

        Notes :

        • The first part (?-i) forces the search to be sensitive to case. If the word Date may have any case, change for (?i)

        • Then, the ^ symbol is an zero-length assertion, which means beginning of Line

        • The part Date.* represents the word Date, followed by any range of characters, even empty

        • Now, the \R syntax stands for any line-break ( End of Line characters )

        • Finally, the ? quantifier, equivalent to {0,1} means that the line-break may be present or NOT ( case of a last line Date…, without any line-break, at its end ! )

        • As the replacement zone is empty, the entire current line is deleted


        Note the difference with the following S/R

        SEARCH (?-i)^Date.*

        REPLACE Leave EMPTY

        In that case, any line, beginning with the word Date, is replaced by a pure blank line

        Best Regards,
