Hmmm...I'm unsure if I understand what you want.  It sounds like what
you want is search and replace, replacing with "" (nothing, that is,
accomplished by hitting return when prompted for a replacement
string).  I do this all the time.  I often think there must be an even
more elegant way to do it.  You can even use a regexp replacement
search to delete stuff.  It's very versatile.

How is what you want different?
