How do I delete specific lines in Notepad++?
Solution 1:
Notepad++ v6.5
Search menu -> Find... -> Mark tab -> Find what: your search text, check Bookmark Line, then Mark All. This will bookmark all the lines with the search term, you'll see the blue circles in the margin.
Then Search menu -> Bookmark -> Remove Bookmarked Lines. This will delete all the bookmarked lines.
You can also use a regex to search. This method won't result in a blank line like John's and will actually delete the line.
Older Versions
- Search menu -> Find... -> Find what: your search text, check Bookmark Line and click Find All.
- Then Search -> Bookmark -> Remove Bookmarked Lines
Solution 2:
You can use menu Search -> Replace... (Ctrl + H).
It has a regular expression feature for replacing. You can use a regex that matches #region as well as whatever else is on the line, and replace it with empty space.
Solution 3:
This is the most common feature of Notepad++ that I use to update my code.
All you need to do is:
- Select common string that is present in all lines.
- Press Ctrl + F
- In the Mark tab, paste the recurring string and check the Bookmark line checkbox.
- Click on Mark All
- Now go to menu Search → Bookmark → Remove Bookmarked Lines
