Deleting text between brackets in notepad++

Question

I need to delete everything between {} example below

Before:

ParticleEffects
{
    animation = "distort"
        0 = "mid Metadata/Effects/misc/distort/distort.pet"
}

After:

ParticleEffects
{
}

the } bracket has to be below { they can't be next to each other like this {} or else it won't work.

Answer 1

solution

• Find what: \{(.*?)\}
• Replace with: \{\n\}
• Search Mode: Regular expression
• [x] matches newline (must be selected)

info

• "{" and "}" must be escaped with "\"
• "\n" inserts newline character

Answer 2

I Used the regex expression as below in the notpad++ once the regex radio-option was selected. It removes everything that comes between the brackets.

 <.*?>

like ex <p data-attribute="" id="as8asdj3ea90"> or simple </p> will also be removed.

this worked for me in removing everything between arrow brackets in Notepad++
