How can I bulk delete floatval(*)

Question

I have a heft php file that has a ton of variables like this:

floatval($string)

$string is always a different string but I want to remove all these floats. What is an easy way to remove floatval($anything)?

I use Sublime if it matters.

not sure if we should keep the php tag, it's not really a php problem. — didierc, Mar 23 '13 at 02:02
do you wish to drop the whole expression, or just the `floatval`part? — didierc, Mar 23 '13 at 02:04

Use search and replace (ctrl + H). Also, select the 'Regular Expression' option. Then search for floatval$\$[a-zA-Z]*$ and replace with nothing.

You want to use a regular expression to search for that pattern and do the replacement, as explained in the answer of this question. The matching expression would be something like:

floatval\(\$([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]+)\)

and the replacement one:
