When you have many Notepad txt text files on hand and need to uniformly delete certain fixed words, advertising phrases, useless content, or duplicate fields, opening and modifying them one by one can be very time-consuming. This article focuses on the common office scenario of "batch deleting text from many Notepad txt files" and introduces how to use office software HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , using the "Find and replace keywords in text" function to import multiple txt files at once, batch search for specified text, and achieve batch deletion by leaving the replacement content blank. The article will combine actual operation interfaces to explain applicable scenarios, effects before and after processing, specific steps, and precautions, helping you complete batch cleaning of text files more efficiently.
Many people encounter the same problem when organizing Notepad txt files: there are many files, but the text that needs to be deleted appears repeatedly. For example, removing fixed prefixes from copywriting in batches, clearing useless words from multiple texts, deleting certain field descriptions in imported data, or uniformly removing unwanted English phrases. If you open Notepad to modify files one by one, it is not only slow but also prone to omissions.
What this article aims to solve is precisely the office scenario of batch deleting text from many Notepad txt files. With the help of the office software HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , you can directly import multiple text files in batches and use the "Find and replace keywords in text" function to uniformly delete specified text, significantly reducing repetitive work.
Applicable Scenarios
If you encounter the following situations, this TXT batch processing method will be quite practical:
- Need to batch delete the same words or short sentences in multiple txt files;
- Need to clean up fixed English words, brand suffixes, or identification descriptions in Notepad text;
- Want to uniformly remove useless content when organizing collected text, log text, or exported text;
- Have dozens or hundreds of text files and don't want to open them one by one for manual editing;
- Hope to complete standardized, repeatable file batch processing tasks through office software.
From an efficiency perspective, these types of needs are very suitable for batch processing tools, rather than continuing manual repetitive operations.
Effect Preview: Before and After Processing
As can be seen from the interface screenshot, what is used here is the "Find and replace keywords in text" function within the text tools. In the example, Big Bang and with are entered in the "List of keywords to find," while the "List of keywords to replace with" area is left blank, and the interface also clearly prompts that "Leaving it blank means deletion."
This means the effect before and after processing can be understood as:
Before processing: Multiple txt files contain specified text like Big Bang, with;
After processing: These specified texts will be uniformly deleted from all imported txt files;
Result characteristic: Suitable for deleting fixed text content, avoiding manual searching and modification one by one.
If your goal is not deletion but replacement with other content, you can also fill in the corresponding new text on the right side; but this article focuses on batch deleting Notepad text, so the right side can be kept blank.
Operation Steps
Step 1: Enter "Find and replace keywords in text" in Text Tools
After opening HeSoft Doc Batch Tool , you can see the "Text Tools" category on the left. After entering, select the first function card, "Find and replace keywords in text."
Purpose of this step: Enter the function entry for batch finding, replacing, and deleting txt text content.
Expected result: Enter the processing page for this function, ready to import the text files that need processing.
Step 2: Batch add the TXT files to be processed
After entering the function page, the top of the interface provides two buttons: "Add Files" and "Import files from folder." In the screenshot, multiple txt files have been successfully imported, and the list shows information such as file name, path, extension, creation time, and modification time.
You can choose according to the actual situation:
- If the files are scattered, click Add Files;
- If many txt files are in the same directory, clicking Import files from folder will be more efficient.
Purpose of this step: Import all Notepad files from which text needs to be deleted into the software at once.
Expected result: The file list displays the pending records, and you can confirm the imported quantity is correct. The screenshot example shows a total of 10 imported txt files.
After confirming there are no errors, click "Next Step" at the bottom to enter the processing option settings page.
Step 3: Choose the search method
On the "Set processing options" page, you can see the "Search method" area. In the screenshot, "Exact text search" is checked. Next to it, the "Use formula for fuzzy text search" option is also provided, but judging from the current example, the text to be deleted is clearly specified, so choosing exact search is more suitable for the scenario.
Purpose of this step: Tell the software which rule to use to match the content that needs to be deleted.
Expected result: The software will precisely locate the corresponding text in the files according to the keywords you fill in.
If you are deleting very specific words, short sentences, or fixed segments, using "Exact text search" is usually sufficient.
Step 4: Enter the keywords to be batch deleted
In the left-side "List of keywords to find," enter the text you want to delete line by line. The screenshot example fills in two items:
- Big Bang
- with
This means the software will uniformly search for these two pieces of text in all imported txt files.
Purpose of this step: Clearly tell the software what content needs to be deleted.
Expected result: The keywords to be deleted form a list, which will later be applied in batch to all selected text files.
If you have more words to delete, you can continue adding them line by line. This way, one processing round can delete multiple specified texts, instead of repeating multiple rounds of operations.
Step 5: Leave the replacement content blank to achieve batch deletion
The right-side area is the "List of keywords to replace with," and the screenshot specifically highlights the prompt: Leaving it blank means deletion.
This step is crucial. Because the goal of this article is not "replacing with new text," but "batch deleting specified text from txt files," there is no need to fill anything here; keep it blank.
Purpose of this step: Replace the "old text found" with emptiness, thus achieving the deletion effect.
Expected result: After processing is complete, all matched text will be removed from the files and will not be replaced by new content.
After completing the settings, click "Next Step" to proceed to the subsequent save location and start processing stages.
Step 6: Set the save location and start processing
From the process guide at the top of the page, it can be seen that there are subsequent steps for "Set save location" and "Start processing." Although the screenshot does not expand the specific setting area, combining with the interface flow, it can be reasonably judged: next, set the output location according to the page prompts, and then execute the batch processing.
Purpose of this step: Save the processed txt files and officially execute the batch deletion task.
Expected result: The software uniformly deletes the specified text from the imported multiple text files according to the set keyword rules and generates the processing results.
Frequently Asked Questions or Precautions
1. Deletion is for "text fragments," not entire content
This function is suitable for deleting fixed keywords, fixed short sentences, and repeated fragments. If you enter a common word, it may be deleted every time it appears in the text, so it is recommended to confirm the keyword's accuracy first.
2. Exact search is more suitable for cleaning fixed words
If you want to delete a specific piece of text that definitely exists, prioritize using "Exact text search." This is more intuitive and less likely to accidentally delete unrelated content.
3. It is recommended to organize the keyword list line by line
Enter the content to be deleted item by item, one line per entry, into the "List of keywords to find," which facilitates unified checking and makes it convenient for later reuse of similar processing tasks.
4. Check the file scope before processing
In the file import list, first check if the file names, paths, and record count are correct, to avoid adding txt files that do not need processing to the task.
5. Pay attention to the readability of the text after deletion
If the deletion involves conjunctions, prefixes, or mid-sentence words, it may affect the coherence of local sentences after deletion. Especially for English text or structured text, it is recommended to first spot-check a few files to confirm the results meet expectations.
Why this office software is more suitable for batch processing text files
