Search and replace, with paragraphs and wildcards

alex100 · #1 05-16-2020, 04:06 AM

I need to remove all the text between two keywords. So far I have been using this code:

Code:

With Selection
    .HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
    With Selection.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = "START_KEYWORD(*)END_KEYWORD"
    .MatchWildcards = True
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With
End With

Now I need the search function to include paragraphs too, like this...

Code:

.Text = "START_KEYWORD^p(*)END_KEYWORD"

The problem is that, in such cases, the script no longer works.

Can someone help me, please?

Alex
