Selected and delete Text between two strings I am trying to use "replace in files" to remove text between two known strings. The two strings are on different lines. Essentially I want to create a macro that will find the first string and select it and everything after that up to and including the second string.
Example: <!DOCTYPE ... delete this delete this ... End of String --> I'm slightly over my head in trying to figure out how to select all the text after the first string until the second string so that I can delete it. I'm trying to remove unneeded text from about 30 files in one shot. Thanks for your help. |

What number did you set in the Additional Lines to Search for Regular Expressions in the Search tab of Customize dialog box? If you set 2 or 3, then you should be able to remove two or three lines of text with a simple regular expression.
