How to use Remove Sentences from Text
- 1. Paste the paragraph you want to trim. Enter a passage made of multiple sentences, such as meeting notes or an article draft containing some sentences that no longer belong.
- 2. Enter what sentences should contain. Type the word or phrase in Remove sentences containing that identifies which sentences to delete, such as an outdated product name or a topic you want cut entirely.
- 3. Turn on Match case if capitalization matters. Turn on Match case to only remove sentences containing that exact capitalization, or leave it off to catch the phrase regardless of how it's capitalized in the text.
- 4. Copy the trimmed paragraph. Copy the remaining sentences into your document now that every sentence matching your pattern has been dropped.
When to use Remove Sentences from Text
Remove Sentences from Text deletes entire sentences that mention a given word or phrase, rather than editing them individually by hand. Use Remove Sentences from Text to cut outdated references, strip off-topic asides, or clean a passage of any sentence touching a subject you don't want included.
- Cutting outdated sentences from a project update. A status report mentions a feature that's since been cancelled across several sentences scattered through the text. Removing every sentence that names it clears all the references at once.
- Trimming off-topic asides from transcribed notes. A meeting transcript wanders into a tangent about lunch plans mid-discussion. Removing sentences containing that tangent's keyword keeps the notes focused on the actual agenda.
- Redacting sentences that mention a confidential detail. A shared document contains a few sentences referencing a confidential codename that shouldn't leave the team. Removing every sentence mentioning it clears the reference before sharing externally.
- Filtering a dataset of customer feedback by topic. You're scanning feedback text and want to strip out sentences about a specific unrelated feature so the remaining text focuses only on the topic you're analyzing.
Examples
Remove sentences that mention rain
Input
It rained today. We played chess. Rain kept falling.
Output
We played chess.
