## Find and Remove

The purpose of this function is to find text in one or more fields, a named variable or each item of a list in a named variable and to optionally remove the specified pattern and all text before or after the pattern. You can optionally choose to ignore alphabetic case while searching. You can also choose to search from the end of the field (backwards) as opposed to from the start of the field. If a delimiter is specified when replacing in a list and it evaluates to an empty string at runtime, a default (\~) will be assumed.

The supplied strings may contain any of the escape sequences described in Escape Sequences. If the resolved pattern is empty the operation does nothing.

If you want to be able to test if any changes occurred. select the Set state option. When selected, if any changes occurred the action test state will be set to true, otherwise it will be set to false.
