Find and Delete Lines Containing More Than x Number of Characters

[Bill Kochman]

Hello Everyone,

The title says it all.

I need to delete all lines containing MORE than x number of characters.

How would I implement this?

Or how about if I want to delete lines containing LESS than x number of characters?

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Bill Kochman

1) Text > Process Lines Containing...

2) Check the Grep checkbox

3) Use the following pattern to target all lines with 60 or more characters:

.{60,}

The "Delete matched lines" checkbox should let you do the deletion. Use "do not contain" for less instead of more characters.

Cheers,

Kevin

Thank you very much, Kevin. Very helpful.

I tried something like that earlier, but it didn’t work. I guess I just didn’t get the syntax quite right.

Kind Regards,
