How do I rip all numbers and other characters from text AT ONCE?

I can do it in notepad one by one. For eg I write the number 1 and I replace it with blank and click replace all then that number will be replaced with nothing in other words the number one (1) will be deleted from all the text.But it is tedious to do one by one for all the numbers. Is there any other way I can delete all the numbers from text/article with one click? Thx.

 

I found the answer after searching for 3+ hrs. To remove all numbers from text,

1. Press Ctrl+H to open the Find and Replace dialog.

2. In the "Find what" box, type ^#

3. Leave the "Replace with" box empty.

4. Replace All.

That is it Woohoo.

 

It is probably worth migrating to a more mature text editing tool. I use PsPad but there are many other free tools that let you do awesome text manipulation with macros and regular expressions. I think notepad++ is another very popular tool.

 

I tried Notepad ++ but couldn't do what I wanted.

 

notepad++: ctrl+f -> replace (tab).

 

I can write a pretty simple PHP script to do it if you haven't found a solution yet.

 

I think the ^# command I mentioned above works in microsoft Word only.

 

Also I found out that to reap all page breaks and line breaks use this ^p

another Woohoo
because this solved another PItn (pain in the neck) problem for me for a long time. I.e I usually try to create content from email messages and they have such a structure to be on the left side of the field. I have to restructure line by line which is really painful. Now with this code and ONE click - Voilla.
