Deleting text between brackets in notepad++

I need to delete everything between {} example below

Before:

ParticleEffects
{
    animation = "distort"
        0 = "mid Metadata/Effects/misc/distort/distort.pet"
}

After:

ParticleEffects
{
}

the } bracket has to be below { they can't be next to each other like this {} or else it won't work.


solution

  • Find what: \{(.*?)\}
  • Replace with: \{\n\}
  • Search Mode: Regular expression
  • [x] matches newline (must be selected)

info

  • "{" and "}" must be escaped with "\"
  • "\n" inserts newline character
