Editing long quoted posts.

[I'mSoSharp]

When multi-quoting long posts & needing to delete stuff not applicable to your answer, is the only way to delete it in the reply box?
Or is there a way of quoting just the part of the post you want to answer?
I ask because I've just replied to two very long posts & it took me about 10 minutes to delete the unnecessary stuff without accidentally deleting the [/QUOTE]s, it's fun when that happens.
Using a Tablet.
Sorry for asking what to some might appear simple, nuts' n' bolts I know, computers are another story!

Yes. Just highlight the part you want to quote, and the quote/reply option should pop up.

Thanks for the rapid reply.
I will try but I think I get my (Android) Tablets "Copy, Cut, Paste" thing.........
I'll give it a go & report back........

Thank you very much r8shell , of course you're correct.
Obvious but I never spotted it below the "copy, cut, paste". Just didn't see it.

Thanks again.
