The Pattern Playground on the Search menu is a great way to build up a pattern for search/replace. You can see interactively what it is going to match as you create it. I think this pattern works.
Search: ^[0-9:, -->]+\r Replace: The caret sign anchors the search at the start of the line. The square brackets match any character contained within so we simply enumerate all the characters in the lines you want to get rid of and replace with an empty string. Any lines that contain a character other than a number or the other characters will be removed. You can then use Remove Blank Lines on the Text menu to clean up any remaining blank lines.
