Hello everyone,
A virus infected all .html and .htm files on my HD, by inserting a portion of bad code after the closing </html> tag, in ~20000 files.

I would like to run a search and replace command that deletes everything after the </html> tag.

Would anyone be so kind to indicate a proper formula for doing that, if that's possible using this software.

Thanks a lot!

This will remove everything (to the end of the file) after the </html> tag.

Regular expression:

Code: Select all

</html>.*

Replace:

Code: Select all

</html>

Option: "Dot Matches Newline" turned on.

Remember to back up first!
