The futurize automatically added some line into my codebase. Most of the time is on the first line.

from builtins import object

I would like to delete that line completely. So something like this

from builtins import object
import logging

will become

import logging

I have tried to use \b, that doesn't seem to work.

  • Do you mean with just the keyboard? I use the plugin IntelliJ Keyboard Bindings. Then I use command + delete on Mac, or Ctrl + Delete on Windows. – Brant Unger Dec 02 '19 at 15:06
  • Sorry, I meant to ask how to do that in search and replace – Jerry Dec 02 '19 at 15:07

In order to remove completely a line in VS Code through "Search and replace" you need to enable the RegExp function, then you type the line you want to remove followed by a "\n" and you leave the Replace field empty.
