      Hi there
      I am looking for easy way to do below two things.

      1. If a line has a certain word/string then delete that line
      2. Delete a certain number of characters from the end on each line
        Appreciate if anyone can support
        Thanks

        Experiment with the following:

        Case 1:

        To delete lines containing the text string “yourword”
        Find what zone: (?-is)^.*?\Qyourword\E.*?\R
        Replace with zone: Make sure this zone is empty!
        Search mode: Regular expression

        Case 2:

        To delete the last 4 (for example) characters from each line:
        Find what zone: (?-s).{4}$
        Replace with zone: Make sure this zone is empty!
        Search mode: Regular expression
        Note: A line must have at least 4 characters on it to be affected!
