I would like to delete certain lines ended with a carriage return and move them up accordingly. These lines are found in 75 files in the same directory.
Example BEFORE:
1. This is Line 1
2. This is Line 2
3. This is Line 3
Now, I would like to delete "2. This is Line 2" and get the whole thing to move up and adjust accordingly as shown below.
Example AFTER:
1. This is Line 1
3. This is Line 3
How to delete lines and move them up accordingly.

If your lines contain static text, that is, are the same for each occurrence, you could just perform a simple find and replace operation, by just typing the text to find and the text to replace as stated above.
If you want to use a regular expression, it would be like this:
Find:
(regexforline1\r\n)regexforline2\r\n(regexforline3)
Replace by:
$1$3
You simply look for three lines and re-place the first and the third, which in effect removes the second line including its newline character (CR LF) and thus "moves up" anything below it.
