Multiple lines

What would be the proper expression to find and delete multiple lines? I am not talking about this....
Find=line1(.+)\n(.+)\nline4

I am talking about maybe 100s of lines where I want to delete the content from the two points and the line numbers are not always the same.

Example: This is on line 1 ....<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC.+
This could be on line 212, 216, 229, etc.... 

So I want to delete all in between.

The details are not clear, but this might do it:

Find what: (<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC.+)(?:[\s\S]*?)()
Replace with: $1\n$2

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

Thank you Ben! That's exactly what I was looking for. That feature was not available in earlier versions of Textpad.
