Question

What I like to do is remove all functions which has specific word for example, if the word is ‘apple’:

void eatapple()
{
// blah
// blah
}

I’d like to delete all code from ‘void‘ to ‘}‘.
What I tried is:

^void.*apple(.|\n)*}

But it took very long time I think something is wrong here.

I’m using Visual Studio. Thank you.

Finally did it.

^void.*(a|A)pple\(\)\n\{\n((\t.*\n)|(^$\n))*^\}
