Wildcards and "find and replace"

Hello,

I have a list of about 250 names and addresses that include the occasional
email address. The list was sent to me as follows:

Name
Address Line 1
Address Line 2
Email: (e-mail address removed)

Note: there may or may not be an address3. What I would like to do is remove
any line that starts with the word Email. I have tried using wildcards, but I
am obviously not entering the right syntax.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Angela

Email*[^l^13]

(that's a lowercase L not a one)

Don't forget the wildcard check box!

Hi Graham,

Thank you! I was so close. Just a couple of missing []brackets away ;).
