I am trying to separate station text from grid text using the advanced select. Does anyone have an example of doing such? I have tried to fumble through with the help guide but I have not had luck in getting the format correct. 

I believe I need some short of regular expression. 

Thank you!

Yep use Advanced Select and then you need to pick by Regular Expression and if you want to use e.g. the + as the definition of the Station Label(or you can find text like STA or something like that then you could use 

1) ^STA   this means any text starting with the text STA

2) ^...[+]    this means any text with + as the 4th character (+ is a special character the [ ] makes it a specific text search)

3) ^...[+]|^....[+]  this means any text with + as the 3rd or 4th character

4) ^N|^E  would mean any text starting with E or N

These are the most common use cases with Cross Sections etc.

Select Text, that has this property, Text Property, that equals a Regular Expression and then enter the text like above and then Apply ti select the text.

The attached Spreadsheet is my ready Reference for Regular Expressions - keep it somewhere safe ...

Thanks! The brackets were what I was missing. That wasn't on the help sheet.

I will! Thanks for sharing.
