Deleting a line and joining the next

[ngdoherty]

Hi

I have a line of text which I can delete - but I need to join the lines above and below


<?php endif;
echo "Delete This Line";
?>

So it end up with

<?php endif;?>

How do I do that?

Note the line above may NOT always be <?php endif;
But the last line will always be ?>

Hope I'm making sense.

Thanks

How do you identify the lines to delete?

By the text of the line itself?

Find what: \necho "Delete This Line";\n
Replace with: [nothing]

[X] Regular expression

Or by the text of the line that follows?

Find what: \n.*\n\?>
Replace with: ?>

[X] Regular expression

Or by both?

Find what: \necho "Delete This Line";\n\?>
Replace with: ?>

[X] Regular expression

Note that these don't use regular expressions, but TextPad only interprets \n as a newline (in both the search and replacement expressions) if you select Regular expression.
