Hi Brian,
Whoa dude, thank you very
much. Would you know of a resource that I can go to and study the wildcard
meanings and how to place them correctly? Thanks again.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished!

Subject: Re: Find & Replace Query I do not think this works in Notepad, but it absolutely does in MS-Word (and I just tested it using your example). You must use Advanced find and replace and you must check the checkbox for "Use Wildcards" after hitting the "More" button in the Find & Replace dialog to make that checkbox visible. Using the following in the find field: ([0-9]{1,}%)*^13 will find any line starting with one or more numeric digits, followed immediately by a percent sign, followed by any number of characters, followed by a new line/new paragraph. If you use nothing (leave blank) the replacement it will remove the lines. -- Brian - Windows
