Re: How to Move/Copy multi-line search matches?

Thanks for the reply John.
This method isn't good enough for my use case since I want to copy all
of the matches simultaneously, not just one of them.

However, this method will work when used as part of a macro and is
something which I already used.
I was looking for a single step method.
