RE: Three-Line service comments

[Tim Auckland]

Please could you give me an example?  I've tried just embedding $(n) in
a search string or regexp and it doesn't seem to help.

I'm trying to delete the three lines:

#
# GNATS
#

This doesn't find any matches:
      DeleteLinesContaining "#$(n)# GNATS$(n)#"

This matches, but only deletes one line out of the three:

      DeleteLinesMatching "(#$(n))*# GNATS($(n)#)*"

Thanks,
  Tim
