How do you delete lines with certain keywords in VScode

Question

I have this regular expression to find certain keywords on a line:

.*(word1|word2|word3).*

In the find and replace feature of the latest VS

Answer 1

If you want to delete the entire line make your regex find the entire line and include the linefeed as well. Something like:

^.*(word1|word2|word3).*\n

Then ALT-Enter will select all lines that match and Delete will eliminate them including the lines they occupied.
