Microsoft’s home grown text editor is quite clearly rubbish. Notepad++ however is a great replacement. It allows for the use of regex which in the world of IT can be a massive time saver for repetitive tasks.

Examples
Find and remove an entire line beginning with the word ‘switch’:
.*switch.*\r?\nFind the characters ‘Po’ followed by two consecutive numbers:
Po[0-9]{2}:Notepad++ Find and Replace using Regex
