Has anyone figured out a way to use Atom.io's awesome search feature to find and delete lines? For example, I want to remove all lines that match ^\s*color: #3f3f3f;$from my css.
I don't want to leave empty lines.

To search within your current file you can press Ctrl+F , type in a search string and press Enter (or F3 or the "Find Next" button) multiple times to cycle through all the matches in that file. Alt+Enter will find all occurences of the search string.
When in a file that needs reverting, press ctrl-cmd-r to revert the file.
Delete Whitelines is an Atom package for removing empty lines. Just Select the text, use command palette (cmd + shift + P) > delete-whitelines:toggle or alt+shift+D (for MAC & windows) to remove empty lines within the selected text area.
Because $ doesn't match newline or carriage return I needed to be more explicit. The pattern \n?\r? seemed to do the trick for me.
My final regex is:
^\s*color: #3f3f3f;\n?\r?
It might need to be modified depending on your line endings. I think ^\s*color: #3f3f3f;\n?\r?\n? should be pretty universal.

You can simply replace that match with an empty string - ie, leave the Replace in current buffer field empty, and do a Replace.
You have to take care of matching the whole line so you don't end up with an empty line.

I just tested it and if you simply leave the replace field empty, then click replace, it will delete.
