Notepad++ Regular expression find and delete a line

I am trying to find and delete a line using Notepad++

I need to find lines in this file (UNIX Format) that match the string '#RedirectMatch Permanent' and delete that line.

Does anyone know how to do this using Notepad++ Find and Replace?

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Step 1

  • Search → Find → (goto Tab) Mark
  • Find what: ^Session.*$
  • Enable the checkbox Bookmark line
  • Enable the checkbox Regular expression (under Search Mode)
  • Click Mark All (this will find the regex and highlights all the lines and bookmark them)

Step 2

  • Search → Bookmark → Remove Bookmarked Lines

Using the "Replace all" functionality, you can delete a line directly by ending your pattern with:

  • If your file have linux (LF) line ending : $\n?
  • If your file have windows (CRLF) line ending : $(\r\n)?

For instance, in your case :

.*#RedirectMatch Permanent.*$\n?

Provide the following in the search dialog:

Find What: ^$\r\n
Replace With: (Leave it empty)

Click Replace All

If it supports standard regex...

find:
^.*#RedirectMatch Permanent.*$

replace:

Replace with nothing.
