How do I remove all of a specified word/code/character in a text document?
I converted a BBCode text into an HTML text but it still has the [CENTER] and [/CENTER] codes on almost every line.
How would I delete all of them without having to go to each line and selecting them and pressing backspace?

It depends on what tool(s) you're using to make the deletions. If, for example, you're using notepad.exe, CTRL-H brings up the search and replace dialog. That's how it's done in notepad. For other text editors, use the appropriate method for whatever editor you're using. If you need specific help, tell us which editor you want to use.

Hi, if you are using Dreamweaver or Microsoft Word, use the 'Replace' function.
