How to Delete All Column Attribute in Models?

Question

I have a problem on VS Code.

I want to delete just column attribute for 200 files.

How to delete them on one click?

I tried (.+?)[Column*/] on Regex Expression.

[Column("JOBSTOP")] public DateTime JobStop { get; set; }
[Column("JOBSTOPAVG")] public DateTime JobStopAvg { get; set; }
[Column("JOBSTOPPRJ")] public DateTime JobStopRj { get; set; }

I expect the output of [Column("JOBSTOP")] public DateTime JobStop { get; set; } to be public DateTime JobStop { get; set; }.

There are many files like this.

Answer 1

1. go to the beginning of the line

2. select multiple lines by pressing shift + alt, drag mouse down

3. select section by holding ctrl +shift and -> (right arrow)

Answer 2

You may use

\[Column\("[^"]*"\)]\s*

If you do not care to check for double quotes use a shorter expression:

\[Column\([^)]*\)]\s*

Details

• \[Column\(" - [Column(" string
• [^"]* - 0+ chars other than " ([^)]* matches 0 or more chars other than ))
• "\)] - a ")] substring
• \s* - 0 or more whitespaces.
