Notepad++ search and replace xml ids

Question

Is there any way to search and replace a name="" attribute with unique names in notepad++? I simply want to remove the whole name="" attribute.

Is there any way in notepad++ to do this with a regex?

The name attribute looks like this:

name="myTag1"

Where 1 is a unique id.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the replace function with this regex

name="myTag[0-9]+"

Don't forget to check the regular expression checkbox in the replace function dialog.
