Possible export just the content found by a regex expression?

Question

When I search with a regex expression FileLocator Pro highlights the found part in the content but when I export the results it exports the whole line not just the highlighted part.

Is it possible to just export the highlighted part?

Answer 1

You can export the regular expression matches (hits) but the easiest way is to use the Reports Tab instead of the Export Results dialog.

If you want the hits by file use the Keywords by File report or if you just want a unique list of matches use the the Keywords Summary report.

Click on the Report Options button to pick which columns you want to display or to switch on/off other options such as column headings.
