      Hi!

      I want to remove lines from anywhere in the document that contain a specific string. Let’s say i have a text

      Hello my Name is
      Pat Morita and I can
      not solve the secrets of grep

      I want to remove the middle line containing “Morita” so the text reads

      Hello my Name is
      not solve the secrets of grep

      It’s important that the grep keeps the kind of linebreak set (e.g. soft linebreak) to not kill any styling -> And that’s where i struggle

      Any help appreciated

      I am not sure what line-breaks you are having trouble with.
      This GREP will find the whole line including the line break and remove it. The previous line is unaffected and the same for the following.

      Find
      .+Morita.+\r
      Replace
      NONE

      Hi,
      What about this?
      Find
      .*Morita.*\v?
      Replace by nothing
