Three steps per file:

• Ctrl-A
• DEL
• Ctrl-S

edit: 5 steps if you count opening the file at the start, and closing the file at the end

@PeterJones thank you,
I mean open all files like 10 files in one time, then delete all lines inside each file then save all, exit

I mean do my procedure 10 times. Or set up a script of some sort to do it for you. (Notepad++ has multiple available scripting plugins which you could learn, including PythonScript, and LuaScript.)

Honestly, your problem is most easily solved at the command line, not in Notepad++. I could do it in a one-line at the cmd.exe prompt. The following proves it, if you can find the menu in Notepad++ that will decode this base64 text.

If you want help, it’s best to show effort, and not just demand changes from those of us who are volunteering to help you.

@PeterJones

Heheh…Peter holds people hostage to some decoding effort…hehehe. Wish I’d thought of that technique. It’s got snarky me written all over it. LOL

In other words, Nice one Peter!
