[TxMt] Question about Find in Project

[Kevin Ridgway]

Allan,

Thanks for replying to this.

My recommendation would be to have the multi-lines copied to the
clipboard, the user could cut out whatever they didn't want once they
paste it into a new document.

I was able to select (highlighted blue), when I hit Command + A, so
when that happened I assumed I was in business to get all the lines on
my clipboard in one fell swoop, which is what I wanted.

Thanks for the tip on grep, I'll give that a shot. :)

-Kevin
