I am trying to find in Textpad a character with regex (for example "#") and if it is found the whole line should be deleted. The # is not at the beginnen of the line nor at the end but somewehre in between and not connected to another word, number or charakter - it stands alone with a whitespace left and right, but of course the rest of the line contains words and numbers.
Example:
My first line
My second line with # hash
My third line# with hash
Result:
My first line
My third line# with hash
How could I accomplish that?
Let's break it down:
^ # Start of line
.* # any number of characters (except newline)
[ \t] # whitespace (tab or space)
\# # hashmark
[ \t] # whitespace (tab or space)
.* # any number of characters (except newline)
or, in a single line: ^.*[ \t]#[ \t].*
