Column Cut, Copy, and Insert

Make vertical Copies, Cuts and Inserts to lines of text.

I find column cutting useful for operations on multiple similar lines. See example.

If you enter the following ...

http://www.textwidgets.com
http://www.memorizenow.com
http://www.searchopener.com

And then if you highlight (by clicking first on a beginning point, then on an ending point) like this...

http://www.textwidgets.com
http://www.memorizenow.com
http://www.searchopener.com

You can Cut - or Copy - the beginning of each line and be left with just ...

textwidgets.com
memorizenow.com
searchopener.com

Or, you can insert into multiple lines at the same time, so if you start with ...

textwidgets.com
memorizenow.com
searchopener.com

And then if you highlight like this...

textwidgets.com
memorizenow.com
searchopener.com

You can insert http://www. and end up with this ...

http://www.textwidgets.com
http://www.memorizenow.com
http://www.searchopener.com

How many lines you can process probably depends on the power of your computer. I've handled more than 10,000 lines.

“Are you dejected? here is comfort. Are you sinful? here is righteousness. Are you led away with present enjoyments? here you have honours, and pleasures, and all in Christ Jesus. You have a right to common pleasures that others have, and besides them you have interest in others that are everlasting, that shall never fail; so that there is nothing that is dejecting and abasing in man, but there is comfort for it in Christ Jesus.”
–Richard Sibbes, Description of Christ
