I can't figure out how to replace * * * * * * * * * *

I have a line of text that repeats on a couple of hundred lines. It starts with * * * * * * * * * * I N S U R A N C E D A T A * * * * * * * * * *
Every replace I try deletes every line in the whol;e document (wildcard). Any thoughts? Thanks, Kevin

It is hard for us to know what is wrong if you don't show us what you are doing.
What are you searching for?
What are you replacing with?

This should work for you
Search for: ^\* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I N S U R A N C E D A T A \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \*
Replace with nothing

Use the following settings:
-----------------------------------------
[X] Regular expression
-----------------------------------------
Configure | Preferences | Editor
[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax
-----------------------------------------
