    Default Help with Bulk Edit, please

    I need to delete something from the description of several auctions.
    I can see the 'replace' option in the bulk edit, but can't quite work out how to do this as I don't want to replace the text with anything.
    Help, please.

    How large is the chunk you wanna delete?

    I got this to work (sort of)

    I opened one of the listings to edit mode, and copied the text I wanted to delete from there. When I copied it directly from the listing displayed on the screen, it didn't work. I think it picked up some formatting characters.

    I didn't put anything in the second box.

    Submitted, and it replaced my text with one blank line.

    I tried that, but it didn't work. But I will have another attempt.

    Thank you

    Also may be worthwhile trying to delete a few words at a time, and replace them with the blank.

    Have tried one line and that hasn't worked.
    It will take me a month of Sundays if I have to do a few words at a time.

    Oh well, guess I should have added to the description of just one instead of 58 and finding it wasn't as I wanted

    Going to bed.

    Night all. Will try again tomorrow.

    If you gave an example listing id and what it was you wanted to get rid of then people might be better able to advise of the best means to do so.

    Thanks, Astral. I hadn't thought of that.

    Here is one of many:36678178 - I tried to add a Buddy link and, as you can plainly see, failed miserably. I added this to all my Ladybird books and most of my patterns
