Remove characters in specific lines in notepad++
I am really new to notepad++ and I tried to search for a solution here but I didn't understand much. I am trying to edit registry files for windows.
I have over a thousand lines containing e.g
"CanonicalName"="{8133CB32-451F-4A9F-9B90-F6F80FCE6348}"
"CanonicalName"="{af01f534-9beb-4d8c-b729-ddf4e2579f31}"
"CanonicalName"="{d577c470-5769-4467-9e71-a14b4a659aa7}"
etc...
I want to delete all the characters including the brackets so that
"CanonicalName"="{8133CB32-451F-4A9F-9B90-F6F80FCE6348}"
becomes
"CanonicalName"=""
And I want this for all similar lines. Problem is that the 32 characters between the brackeets are different for every line. How can I make notepad++ delete every character including the brackets for all the lines containing "CanonicalName"= ?
Solution
So you can easily do this using regex replacements.
Replace all "CanonicalName"="[^"]*" with "CanonicalName"="".
