How to use Regex to remove text between two strings in Notepad++?

Question

I have many lines like this :

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="test" tvg-logo="http://somsite.com/test.png" group-title="stars",test
Name=sun_SEASON/STAR_NOVA&title=galaxy

and want to change it to :

#EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="test" tvg-logo="http://somsite.com/test.png" group-title="stars",test
Name=sun_SEASON&title=galaxy

removing everything between Season/ AND &

i tried to use this search for :

SEASON/[^<>]+&title=galaxy

and replace with:

SEASON&title=galaxy

But it didnot work! could any one tell me what i am doing wrong ?

Answer 1

SEASON(/[^&]+)&title=galaxy

delete $1

or

(?<=Name=sun_SEASON).*?(?=&)

delete

Answer 2

How about:

• Ctrl + H
• Find what: (?<=SEASON)[^&]+(?=&)
• Replace with: NOTHING
• Replace all

This will replace by nothing (ie delete) everything that is between SEASON and &
