Find and Replace Multiple Lines of Code for whole directory

[Karan Mandya]

I’m currently working on an assignment and I need to replace multiple lines of code for the whole directory.
For example, I have a code as:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="">
<link rel="manifest" href="manifest.json">

Now, I want to replace this code with blank. But I’m not able to do this in “Find in Files” menu as it only finds one line of code at a time and not multiple lines.

There are thousands of files that needs to be replaced. I tried a plugin but they dont have such feature to replace multiple line in directory (only allows current file).

Would really appreciate your help in this regard.

I was able to make it work.

Using \r \n and \t in extended search mode I was able to put entire code supposed to be replaced in single line and then did a replace in all files pretty easily. Yay!
