Extracting specific words from a document
Hi,
Thanks for the tip-each "first name" is followed by a paragraph mark.
the exact format is:
*lastname (including Jr, III, etc), First name(paragraph)
using wildcards, you cannot search for a "paragraph mark". So you have to
use the code ^013.
Find | Find what:
\*(*)^013
[= asterix, 0 or more characters, paragraph mark]
Find in: Main document
Now all occurances of "*...........¶" are selected, and you can copy them.
