Open the document.
Use Search/Find to "Mark All" lines with the text "this is the text". You may need to use Regular Expressions depending on the text you want.
Toggle Bookmarks
Delete Bookmarked lines.
You will now just be seeing the lines with the text.
Make a macro to do this, and a hot key for the macro, and you can do all of this with a keystroke.
