Is there a way to suppress the filename and linenumber in the search results window while using find in files. Thanks in advance.

Don't think so. If this is something of a must for you, you can record a macro to paste the search results into a new document (the sr are read only) and then do a find and replace all using a regex. HTH

Thanks..will try that approach and report.

Just double-click on "read" in the statusbar to make the results read-write.

Thanks. Can somebody help me with the needed regexp...the filename is sow28poc.txt followed by linenumber in round brackets, a colon and space...eg. sow28poc.txt(234): ...i need to replace the above in every line with nothing..would be grateful for any help in creating the macro.

Using POSIX regular expression syntax:

Configuration | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

Using Search | Replace... :

Find what: [^(]+\([0-9]+\):_
Replace with:

[X] Regular expression

In the "Find" regular expression replace the underscore at the end with a space. Leave the replacement expression empty.

Thanks ben...not very familiar with posix syntax...
the non-posix compliant regexp ^sow28poc.txt([0-9]+):_
where the underscore is a space worked fine for me.
Now i need to only learn how to make the entire sequence of double clicking read in the status line (thanks bveldkamp) and running the find replace into a macro:-)
Thanks once again for all the help.
