deleting lines in a field

[Bob Sneidar]

I’m kind of surprised at these suggestions. Why not rather build a memory variable containing the lines that are not selected, then replace the field with the variable? Or as suggested, put the field into a memory variable, then put empty into the selected lines, then filter non-empty lines and drop it back into the field. Isn’t that more efficient for large chunks of data anyway?

I have a field that allows non-contiguous selection of lines

What is the easiest way to delete the selected lines?

I've tried a bunch of things and I end up doing this big convoluted script
to do it.  It seems like it should be simple?
