TAKE A LOOK AT THE ATTACHED PICTURE.
my goal is just to SELECT n DELETE Those lines :
Dialogue: Marked=0,0:02:39.49,0:02:40.49,Default,NTP,0000,00 00,0000,!Effect,
(without the text)
take a look at that picture... the marked line...
i just need ALL of these lines removed.. i managed to select only one line as you see , its impossible to select it with the mouse:\
how can i do that? i need a script?
Well, Notepad is a rather primitive text editor, and at least until Win XP, a text selection in "block mode" was not possible.
Most of the industrial-strength text editors allow block-mode text selection. In Textpad, if you press "Alt + C + B", press the mouse left button, and drag, you'll be able to select column-wise. Then press "Delete" to delete the selected data.
Textpad also allows you to search and replace using regular expressions. The regular expression for your text would be something like:
^Dialogue.*Effect,
There's a "Regular expression" checkbox that you'd have to check, so that Textpad considers your search string a regular expression.
In other text editors like EditPlus, UltraEdit, Notepad++ etc., the general idea would be the same, although the actual keystrokes to select in block-mode or replace using regexes would be different.
Finally, you can of course use a script to do the same thing. But Windows does not come with a good set of text-processing utilities or a really good shell, so doing it in a text editor should be simpler in your case.
Hope that helps,
