If you can shape your text file a bit to look like below..

`REGEX=.*My Song Name.*
REGEX=.*My Title.*
REGEX=.*The 10 billion dollar tune.*
REGEX=.*Song with no name.*`  
Then select/copy portions of it into the clipboard and running "SelectEx FROMCLIP" should select all matching items.  
You'd need to install the SelectEx script addin first to make this work. [[Command: SelectEx (extended Select command)](http://resource.dopus.com/t/command-selectex-extended-select-command/20517/1))

What might also be helpful is a texteditor that allows you to select columns of text to quickly remove/add specific parts from/to all the lines (removing the leading track number and adding the REGEX= prefix e.g.). Editplus will do, Notepad++ probably can do this as well.
