I have a big list of text values - e.g.:

thisismyname
andsomething
elselikethat
and(some)contain

Is it possible to use a regular expression to identify any lines which contain anything other than just standard 1-9 and a-z characters?

I have a backup drive, and a local drive that I am backing up.

Hi - I have a big block of text and would like to replace each occurrence of the ampersand with a line break, so that after the find / replace has completed, it shows each variable on a new line. I'm using TP4.7.2 on Windows 2000.

I have a table with "news" in it. Some of the content contains links to other sites in the form of html markup. I have extracted the data into a text file, and I want to tidy it up so that it validates as xhtml strict.
