Im new with the program so please bear with me.
I would like to delete text that falls between two "variables"
such as
*****START*****
I want this to be deleted no matter how many lines of text may fall between the start and end.
*****END*****
I had got really confused trying to understand easy pattern.. tried to find some kind of wildcard or something..
Thanks in advance...
