      No problem! Here is the macro:

      InsertMode
      ColumnModeOff
      HexOff
      UnixReOff
      Clipboard 9
      ClearClipboard
      Top
      Loop
      Find MatchCase RegExp "%2 NOTE di "
      IfNotFound
      ExitLoop
      Else
      Find MatchCase RegExp Up "%0 @*^p"
      IfFound
      CopyAppend
      EndIf
      Find MatchCase RegExp "%2 NOTE di "
      EndIf
      EndLoop
      NewFile
      Paste
      Top
      ClearClipboard
      Clipboard 0
      UnixReOn

      Remove the last red command, if you use regular expression in UltraEdit style by default instead of Unix style.
      For UltraEdit v11.10c and lower see Advanced - Configuration - Find - Unix style Regular Expressions.
      For UltraEdit v11.20 and higher see Advanced - Configuration - Searching - Unix style Regular Expressions.
      Macro commands UnixReOn/UnixReOff modifies this setting.

      And don't forget to enable the macro property Continue if a Find with Replace not found.

        I have just tried it. MARVELLOUS, thanks. You make me save a week of my life.

        Just one thing: I have UE 8.10b, and it gave me an error on ClearClipboard. I cut the lines, and everything works well.

        Thanks again,
        Max
