How to "clean up" a file ?

[Pete S.]

I have a file which contains records in the following format:

FILE: DNTSCTA.DAT
SIZE:1025, read:1025
FILE: DNTSW2S.K01
SIZE:1024, read:1024
FILE: DNTSW2S.K03
SIZE:1024, read:1024
FILE: DNTSW2S.K04
SIZE:1024, read:1024
FILE: DNTSW2S.K05
SIZE:1024, read:1024

What I would like to do is end up with:

DNTSCTA.DAT
DNTSW2S.K01
DNTSW2S.K03
DNTSW2S.K04
DNTSW2S.K05

Any suggestions on how to do that are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
Pete

Hi,

Quiet easy. You place the cursor on the first line, start a macro and clean up the first part (remember to use Ctrl+Cursor and Delete Line!) After the first part be sure the cursor is at the char of the next line, stop the macro recording and play the macro for all other line.

Hope it helps,
Frank

Search for: FILE: \(.*\)\nSIZE:\(.*\)
Replace with: \1
