There *might* be a way to do this with the inset-forall LFUN, but I
wouldn't know for sure. Depending upon how many there are, you could try
using the outliner, sorting by branch name, and deleting manually.
Another option, which is always available, is to write some kind of perl
or python script to remove the unwanted branches from the LyX file
directly. Something like (in perl):
$inset_count = 0;
$in_branch = 0;
while (<>) {
if (m{^//begin_inset Branch Solution}) {
$in_branch = 1;
$inset_count = 1;
} elsif ($in_branch) {
if (m{^\\begin_inset}) { $inset_count++; }
elsif (m{\\end_inset}) { $inset_count--; }
if ($inset_count == 0) { $in_branch = 0; }
} else {
print;
}
}
Not tested!! (Usage: perl thatfile.pl < oldfile.lyx >newfile.lyx)
It's one nice thing about LyX files being just flat text files that you
can do this kind of thing so easily.
