MS Word-style pattern works in Word 2016, not TextPipe v9.9.

Why not?

Max file size for Unicode-ASCII conversion

I have a 200GB raw data file (hard drive contents) and I want to convert from Unicode to ASCII.

I have hit a stone wall in trying to accomplish the following in TextPipe. I want to extract everything from "<td valign=top><B>Any Name</B>" through at least the first instance of "<BR><I>(Plaintiff)</I></td>". (It would be nice if I could extract through the last instance, but ...
