  Hi, I am having another total mental block when trying to get GREP to delete a line that starts with a given string e.g:
  
  Report from Fred
  Documents from Bert
  Report from Harry
  Pages from Anne
  
  Basically, I want to be able to delete the lines that start with the string “Report”
  
  I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this.
  
  Many thanks in advance.
