      hello, I want to select and delete whole content of those files that contains word xxx.

      I try this regex (?s)(.*?MY_WORD).*$ or [^"]+(MY_WORD)[^"]+ and works in notepad++, but doesn’t work in TextCrawler. Maybe someone will give me another solution.

        Hello, @robin-cruise,

        To my mind, the shorter SEARCH regex should be (?s).*\bMY_WORD\b.*

        And, as you want to delete the contents, of all the files, which contains the word MY_WORD, just leave the REPLACE box empty

        Cheers,
