[Meтe Ялчынкая]

Hello all, hope you doing well, I need help with something. So I searched for a letter, and the result is almost 4000 found. I want to delete all lines which include “#” how do I gonna do that? Is there anything to do that instantly?

Hello, @meтe-ялчынкая and All,

Very easy with regular expressions or bookmarks !

• A) With bookmarks :

  • Open the Mark dialog ( Ctrl + M )

  • SEARCH #

  • Untick all the options

  • Tick the Bookmark line option

  • Tick the Wrap around option

  • Click on the Mark All button

  • Then, run the menu option Search > Bookmark > Remove Bookmarked Lines

---

• B) With regular expressions ( faster ! )

  • Open the Replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )

  • SEARCH (?-s)^.*#.*\R

  • REPLACE Leave EMPTY

  • Untick all the options

  • Tick the Wrap around option

  • Click on the Replace All button

The search regex searches, from beginning of line ( ^ ) for any range of standard characters, even none ( .* ), followed with a # char, and again, with any range of standard characters, even none( .* ), till the EOL characters of current line ( \R )

Best regards
