BBEdit has a Replace All option in the Find & Replace dialog. Is it always the case that these three lines occur together? I.e., is "... (Viewed)" always followed by "Video ...", always followed by "Save ..."? If these three items don't appear independently, then the entire operation can be accomplished in one Find & Replace All step: Find : \(Viewed\)\nVideo (.*)\nSave .*$ (Grep) Replace: [empty] This works on your example text, except the "Save" line is missing from the last video. If the three changes appear together, than separate Find & Replace All steps should work -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
