Search for a text and copy the next lines of codes
-
Hi all,
Is there any way where I search for a text and copy the next lines of codes?
Sample text:
Line1Texttosearch SEARCHME
Line2someTextHere
Line3someTextHere
Line4copyThisLine IWANTTOCOPYTHISLINE0001
Line5Texttosearch SEARCHME
Line6someTextHere
Line7someTextHere
Line8copyThisLine IWANTTOCOPYTHISLINE0002
…In here I have to find the keyword “SEARCHME”, it will give multiple results which is the Line1 and Line5. What I want to copy is the contents of the next two lines for each keyword which Line4 and Line8. The result of what I copy to clipboard would be the Line4 and Line8 only.
Result:
Line4copyThisLine IWANTTOCOPYTHISLINE0001
Line8copyThisLine IWANTTOCOPYTHISLINE0002
…I don’t mind copying the Line3, Line4, Line6 and Line7 if it makes it easier.
Kind Regards,
Kev -
You can (after locating them) select Line4, hold down Ctrl, and select Line8. Holding Ctrl, you can select many lines, with spaces between.
Hope I helped! -
The advice you offered is not good for what I suspect @Kev-Alejandrino wants.

Thanks for the fairly decent problem description!
For a possible solution:
Try a “marking” operation; start by pressing Ctrl+m and then filling out the Mark tab this way:
Here’s the text for the Find what box for convenient copy/paste use:
(?-s)SEARCHME(?:.*\R){3}\K.*After you press the
Mark Allbutton, you should see the text you want highlighted in red like I show.At that point it is a simple matter of pressing the Copy Marked Text button.

@Alan-Kilborn said in Search for a text and copy the next lines of codes:
(?-s)SEARCHME(?:.\R){3}\K.
Thank you! It works just what I wanted.
