Strange results in deletion of lines

[Douglas]

Hang on, you just happened to throw in that you ALSO want to do 
processing with the lines that you just asked to be deleted!
It seems silly to go through the deletion when you are going to have to 
go through the whole search over again.

Surely it would have been better to sort the data into separate 
variables or even arrays rather than deleting in the first place?
This would keep the data separate for secondary processing and if 
referenced in array could also hold references to the original placing 
in the source file/variable if required.
