      I am editing a Gedcom-file with about 300.000 lines of text.
      A normal line would be:
      1 NAME John / Doe/

      but some lines have only:
      1 NAME

      What can i do to to remove only these lines?

        I would give it a try with the following regular expression

        find: ^\d+ NAME\h*$
        replace with nothing

        This means the following:
        Each line begins with one or more digits, followed by a space, followed by the literal word NAME, followed by horizontal spaces, such as space, tab…, or not, and then ends.
