Thanks I looked up some other regex stuff and came up with (?! )
The different things I was trying ended up clearing out the entire file.
I wonder if this is related to list iteration.
So my list was 1 2 3 first iteration, delete every line not 1, second
iteration delete every line not 2, third iteration delete every line not 3.
So I pulled out the list and just tried with a static number.
delete_lines:
"(?!3.*).*"
Now it deletes all lines that dont start with 3 as I expect.
So is there no way to iterate over a list of things to not delete?
