Hmmm...I'm unsure if I understand what you want. It sounds like what
you want is search and replace, replacing with "" (nothing, that is,
accomplished by hitting return when prompted for a replacement
string). I do this all the time. I often think there must be an even
more elegant way to do it. You can even use a regexp replacement
search to delete stuff. It's very versatile.
How is what you want different?
