Search in reverse order?

[sonic]

Hello again!

Is it possible to search for an item in text for example "item" and then select everything between the last item "test" above it?

Any help would be nice!

Greetings

Thx Gintaras !

So when i have a text like this:

Hello
Goodbye
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbey
Twelve monkeys

I can with this function extract the last part? So i get this:

Hello
Goodbey
Twelve monkeys

Can you show me an example please?
