Hi! A have a very big file with a lot od data.
Is it possible to search ,for example, a word (dog) and collect all lines with this word?
Thank you very much! -
open the find dialog, switch to the
Marktab, check theBookmark linecheckbox, callMark AllOnce the result is shown, right click one of the bookmarked lines and click
Copy bookmarked lines -
Or, similar to @Ekopalypse’s correct solution:
Open the find dialog, use the
Findtab, enter the search string inFind what :and click onFind All in Current DocumentOnce the result is shown, right click one of the result lines in the
Search resultswindow on the bottom, clickSelect Alland thenCopy Selected line(s) -

This is only good advice if one has no other search results present in the window; otherwise all lines will be copied from all searches, which may not be relevant to the current search data that the OP is attempting to obtain.
A better way is to right-click on the Search “dog” … line (red dot in the following screenshot) and choose Copy Selected Line(s) without selecting any text in Search results window at all:

@Alan-Kilborn Yes, good hint.

I suppose it is a “good hint” but it is somewhat counter-intuitive for unknowing users. I mean, the menu item says it is going to copy something that is selected, and nothing is selected (but it still does something when invoked). :-(

@Alan-Kilborn Personally, most times I use my solution with clearing the results in the search results window before (if any) with right-click on “Clear all”. I rarely need more than one search result. I wished there was an option to always generate only one fresh search result.

Tick this option and you shall have it!:
