You say you are using BBEdit 3.1, (which is really quite old now), so
I don't know if this will work with that version:
From the BBEdit 5.1 dictionary:
cut lines containing: copies and then deletes lines containing the specified
search string, with optional Grep matching and case sensitivity
cut lines containing string
[case sensitive boolean] -- if present and TRUE, the search is case
sensitive; otherwise the search will ignore character case.
[grep boolean] -- if present and true, the search string is interpreted
as a Grep pattern.
Result: string -- collection of lines containing the specified string, or
the empty string if no such lines were found.
