Write specific lines from one file to another

xenon2090

I have a large txt file. I want to find the lines starting with a specific string (e.g. "student name=") and copy the entire of such lines into another file.

 

How can I do it with JMP scripting?

 

If it is not straightforward with JMP, is there a simple method by excel or other tools?

See if you can adapt this illustrative script to suit your situation:

 

Names Default to Here( 1 );

text = Load Text File( "YourText1.txt" );

line = Words( text, "\!n" );

text = "";

For( i = 1, i <= N Items( line ), i++,
	If( Contains( line[i], "student name =" ),
		text ||= line[i] || "\!n";
	);
);

Save Text File( "YourText2.txt", text );
