    My syntax highlighting seem to be OK, and now I would like to know if I can select (and copy to clipboard) like ..

    - select all green words
    - select all comments
    - select all words which are in "Wordfile, Group C1"

    Would be great.

    Thanks

      UltraEdit v21.00.0.1033 (actual release) has no feature to select strings based on syntax highlighting.

      But I can offer a workaround if you are familiar with HTML.
      1. Select in UltraEdit with Ctrl+A the entire file.
      2. Click on command Copy as HTML Document in submenu Copy Special of menu Edit.
      3. Create a new file with Ctrl+N and paste the HTML code into the file with Ctrl+V.
      4. Now use several regular expression replaces to remove everything you do not want.
      Then you can save the new file as HTML file and open it in your browser to do with the remaining text whatever you want to do.

          I want to add that with the script FindStringsToNewFile it is also possible to get all text line by line with the formatting attributes as specified in the find string directly instead of removing with regular expression replaces everything not wanted.
