I have a list of words. I want to use find-and-replace to eliminate certain letters from the list, so that I'm left with only those which contain a predetermined number of characters.
Example: I've eliminated the letter 'e' from this list: loavs; locals; locris; lodgs; logics; longus; lonrs; loris; lovrs; lowrs. Now I want to delete all strings that have fewer than 6 characters.
This is a variable problem, 'n' characters being the variable.
Please would someone supply a solution?
Thanks.
