Hello

I am trying to create a macro to delete all the "garbage" in different bits of text. In the "Key-mac.lib" file there is a macro which does exactly what I want; Deletes all lines in the file containing "garbage". The cursor is left
following the last deleted line and is as follows.

[VISUAL EXIT]BOF()repeat(ALL) {Search("garbage",ERRBREAK)BOL()Del_Line()}

I have copied it in exactly but whenever I press the desired shortcut for it, the cursor would just go to the beginning of the text documents. Is there something I should have checked or unchecked?

EDIT
I got this fixed nevermind now.

Try removing the ",ERRBREAK" for a quick test.
I think the macro then will tell you that it couldn't find any "garbage".

Or enhance the macro for example like this:



      [VISUAL EXIT]

      BOF()

      repeat(ALL) {

      Search("garbage",NOERR)

      if (Error_Match) {

      Statline_Message("No more hits.")

      break

      }

      BOL()

      Del_Line()

      }
