Delete multiple lines
Hi,
Yes, it's possible.
To to main menu - Action - Batch replace and
check ON: "Modifier S". So the regular expressions will handle multiple
lines at once.
Then in main window go to Batch replace tab.
Check ON: "Use regular expressions".
Put into Search for:
hello.*bye
Replace with:
should be empty, because you delete the text.
One note:
in your case hello and bye are placed at the beginning of the lines.
In regular expressions begin of line is ^ char.
So for more reliability (for example theoretically bye maybe placed
somewhere in the middle of the text) you should use:
Search for:
^hello.*^bye
Replace with:
should be empty, because you delete the text.

Use Regular Expression Builder (in Batch replace tab) for testing.
PS instead of using r.e. you may also use Between action of Replace
operation.
