Seems like an odd search string. The (m?) would be to capture a patten for

Why capture anything? You just want to place the insertion point at the end

A negative look-behind is a kind of zero-width assertion - it doesn't

Hey all,
I'm looking to use grep to remove text contained within a tag (including

iframe tags from multiple .txt files.
Here's an example tag:

"",498,,"",""
# 2009-02-03
Item,Value,Value Percent,URL,Mumble URL

#visitors is the first line of the document
the other bits continue in sequence
I want it to look like this:

The find pattern would be "" with "Grep" checked. You can
use the Multi-File Search... dialog to run this against a folder containing

Hey Marco,

Ok, I think I've narrowed down the greedy over-run to only look between
matching register numbers...So basically this should work regardless of
varying number of item lines in your receipt.
