UnMark All

Post by jstaudte »

I often have a scenario where I am searching through a log file and use the option to Mark All. After looking at the bookmarked lines, I see that some of the lines may be pertinent and others not. I would like to be able to do another search, where I rule out some of the previously Marked lines.

So maybe I search for "ERROR.*" and Mark All and get these results:

Code: Select all

ERROR - some issue
ERROR - some issue - but this one is not relevant
ERROR - some issue - and neither is this one
ERROR - some issue
ERROR - some issue
Then do a second search for "this one" and UnMark All so I'm left with these results:

Code: Select all

ERROR - some issue
ERROR - some issue
ERROR - some issue
This is a case where I can't really tailor the search even using RegEx...because I don't know what I'm searching for yet.

Maybe record a macro for the second part:

Find "this one"
Toggle bookmark

No need to save it, just home the insert position and Multi-play the scratch macro to the end of file.
