I would like to identify the lines to make changes, then search and replace text within the line. I don't see a way to do this within TextCrawler 1.1.4. Have I missed something?
TIA

TextCrawler only searches/replaces at the file level - it will replace all occurences of the search word in the file.

Perhaps you could do it using look forward or look back regular expressions, depending on what exactly you want to do, for example, remove the end of a line that contains some word in the first part of it... Read about regular expressions at
http://www.regular-expressions.info/
An alternative might be using Notepad++ using a multi-pass strategy.
You may even combine both tools: extract the matches using Text Crawler and copy them to Notepad++ and further edit them there (although you may as well do the first step in Notepad++ as well).
