Tool to Keep or Remove Lines Containing a String

This free tool lets you modify a list of items (often keywords/search terms) to either include only those that contain a string of charcters, or exclude those that contain a string of characters. This is useful if you are using pay-per-click advertising (Google, Yahoo! Search Marketing [nee Overture.com], FindWhat, etc.) and want to weed out a list of potential keywords to either retain a particular set or exclude a particular set.

For example, starting with this list:
cat
dog
mat
hog

If you keep those with the string "at" in them, you will be left with
cat
mat

If you remove those with the string "at" in them, you will be left with

dog
hog

Results appear in a pop-up window.


Enter search terms/keywords in this box.
