Imagine having a column in a spread sheet with many lines in which not every line is full; but we want to select only the ones that are full.<\/strong> I’m doing this with a "Find" dialogue box and when wondering if there exists a simpler solution I only came across more complicated ones<\/a> :\/. <\/p>\n

Here’s is how I do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Select the data set in the row with empty and not empty cells.<\/li>\n
  2. Open Find & Replace dialogue box (Edit -> Find & Replace from the menu).<\/li>\n
  3. In the "Search for" field write this regular expression: .*<\/li>\n
  4. Click on "More options" and check "Regular expressions" and "Current selection only".<\/li>\n
  5. Click on "Find All"<\/li>\n
  6. Copy and Paste wherever wanted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Hope this is clear enough.<\/p>\n

    Needless to say that with regular expressions it is possible to select various things:
    \n
    – Cells containing letters only: [A-z]*
    \n
    – Cells containing numbers only: [0-9]*
    \n
    – …<\/p>\n

    For various examples of regular expression see these examples<\/a>. It’s worth learning them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
