Remove empty lines and timestamp from subtitle file in Notepad++

Adrian Woods

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.
