I can't seem to get the remove lines not matching to work. I want to remove all lines that don't have a 3 digit number in the first three columns. I'm using version 6.5.1

The latest version is 7.0.6 - consider upgrading.

Thanks for your help. It work, but it created another problem. When I do my data transfer it does find the end of the line. I tried word wrap and truncate to a specific size. See sample below.

Never mind. I inserted a hard return at the end of the line.

Thanks,
