Emeditor : When using the extract feature : how to also remove the extracted contents (rows) from the source document?

Question

Example : the file "A.txt" contains several rows with phrases :

This is a phrase
Bla keyword blabla
This is another phrase

Desired results :

in A.txt :

This is a phrase
This is another phrase

in B.txt :

Bla keyword blabla

Then I use the option "Find" keyword then I use "Extract". It extracts the correct rows in a new document (B.txt) but how to also remove the full row(s) containing the selected keyword in "A.txt" ?
