title: Replace a string by an empty line in Notepad++
body: <p>I can't seem to find a solution to this problem with Notepad++. I have a text file with many <code>\EC</code> strings on a single line and I have to get rid of them. In other words, I want to automatically replace the <code>\EC</code> strings by <code>nothing</code>. How can I achieve this?</p>
