VS Visual Studio 2017 multiline search and spreadsheet

Question

Is it possible to output the results of a multiline search in VS 2017 straight into a spreadsheet? My code will write out errors to a log and I need these errors listed so that someone can test my code against them. It would make life easier if I could do this by getting the lines I want put straight into a spreadsheet rather than trawl through and add them myself. Any ideas?

Could you please provide more information about your issue? Do you mean the Multiline Search and Replace extension?
