I have a long document of commands. Using Notepad++ or regex, I want to delete all lines containing "help" including keyboard_help, etc.

How can this be done?

This is also possible with Notepad++:

  • Go to the search menu, Ctrl + F, and open the Mark tab.

  • Check Bookmark line (if there is no Mark tab update to the current version).

  • Enter your search term and click Mark All

    • All lines containing the search term are bookmarked.

  • Now go to the menu Search → Bookmark → Remove Bookmarked lines

  • Done.
