After using Prepare to Search or pressing Ctrl+F and entering a search term, click the Cut button on the Search toolbar or select the Cut Matches item in the Search menu to cut all search matches to the clipboard. All search matches are placed onto the clipboard delimited by line breaks. The search matches are then removed from the files in EditPad.
If there are no search matches at all, EditPad briefly flashes the Cut button’s icon to indicate failure. If there are a lot of search matches, cutting them all might take a while. A progress meter will pop up to indicate EditPad’s progress after a second or two.
