      i want remove empty lines and timestamp from subtitle file in Notepad++

      I know this question has already been asked and the answer is this code: ^[\d\s\n].*\n

      But if at the beginning of the text is a number, That line is also deleted.

      For example, on the following lines:

      1- We’ve already seen better ways to organise our code

      2- we’ve seen ways to deal with files,

      1
      00:00:01.876 --> 00:00:02.709
      <v Instructor>We can go back now</v>

      2
      00:00:02.709 --> 00:00:05.042
      to our web server checklist.

      3
      00:00:06.410 --> 00:00:08.722
      1- We’ve already seen better ways to organise our code

      4
      00:00:08.722 --> 00:00:11.545
      into reusable pieces with modules,

      5
      00:00:11.545 --> 00:00:13.315
      2- we’ve seen ways to deal with files,

      6
      00:00:13.315 --> 00:00:15.940
      both synchronous and asynchronous,

      7
      00:00:15.940 --> 00:00:16.773
      and buffers,

      8
      00:00:16.773 --> 00:00:18.325
      both the built-in Node one

      9
      00:00:18.325 --> 00:00:20.380
      and the ES6 buffers,

      10
      00:00:20.380 --> 00:00:22.485
      and we’ve seen a way to deal with work

        If I remove lines in a replacement by matching them with this regex: ^\R|^\d\d:.+\R, I am left with this:

        1- We’ve already seen better ways to organise our code
        2- we’ve seen ways to deal with files,
        1
        <v Instructor>We can go back now</v>
        2
        to our web server checklist.

        If that's not what you asked for, learn to ask better, or better yet, show exact "after" text that you want to achieve.
