:-)

so setup a PC as an FTP server...
upload your file to that pc,
then download it,
and it'll be fixed :-)

do a search on google for "text editor windows" and you'll find text
editors that do everything you want and more...

except:  I've never found an editor with a SELECT or highlight
command that works like this:

first, the regular select starts at current cursor position, and
selects
all data until end cursor position.  If start position is HERE and
then
you drag your mouse to THERE then all text between HERE and THERE
gets selected.

ok, the select I'd want is:  you select width to select with the mouse
select tool, or with SHIFT-arrow keys.  pressing DOWN arrow key
would select the next column down, but the same rows you selected
initially....

10   so you could delete
20   all of the line numbers
30   out of a file
40   or you could even delete  the XXX
50   out of multiple lines in a text XXX
60   file  blah blah blah blah blah XXX
70   or from the middle YYY blah blah
80   or from the middle YYY blah blah

but the only select i've ever seen is the regular one built into
widows/mac OS.

try http://www.textpad.com/


it might do what you want.
