Find and replace in Notepad++ matching beginning and end of line
I would like to find all lines that follow this format:
type="file_one_id"
type="file_two_id"
type="file_three_id"
And replace them with a single replacement line:
type="my_generic_replacement"
The problem is that there are many other lines which also start with type="file_ or end with _id" , so I'm thinking that searching for lines that both begin with type="file_ and end with _id" will be required. Is there a way to do this with notepad++?

You can find and replace \r\n and tick Extended in the Replace box; \r\n matches carriage-return + line-feed. Some systems may only have \r or only \n at the line breaks

To replace the lines in Notepad++ you can use this regex:
type="file_\w+_id"
To open the window click Search => Replace

You could search for ^type="file_.*_id"$ (using Regular Expressions) and replace with type="my_generic_replacement"
