This triggered vague memories – so I checked, and for something like this (where the text you want to select mines up quite neatly) you can use Alt + mouse to select a vertical block and then delete the selection as usual. At least as quick as setting up a regular expression find/replace :-}

PERFECT! This does EXACTLY what I want!

Incredibly simple. Thank you!
