To get rid of the actualy data for the date, I would need to go through every single text and delete the date/time.
ah yes of course. I'm used to doing it in a google excel doc where you can do something like that.

seems like notepad++ might be the way to go if you can figure it out

can you expand on that?

An option called "find in files" that takes a directory, it will replace what you tell it. In your case you want to replace contents with nothing (leave replace with blank). Unlike opening the document in a program it will stream through the documents in a directory (not loading the whole thing in memory).

You can also use 'regular expression' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) instead of a straight value.

Anything else is a waste of time.
thanks for the help, but that still doesn't help the problem with the date/time string
You can use a regular expression to pattern match the format that the date is in, and replace any match with... white space?

if you leave it blank it will just get rid of it altogether
