How do I do a regex search and replace in sublime text 2?

Question

I want to remove inline style from an html document in ST2.

I imagine my regex will be something like this style=\"*\"

If that's wrong, it doesn't matter. I'm sure I'll figure out the expression I'll need.

What I haven't been able to figure out, is how to actually use a regex to find or to find and replace text in ST2. The docs say that it can be done. But I can't find the documentation for how to do it.

Answer 1

Simply open the Search+Replace function (via Ctrl-H or the menu bar) and check the first box on the left of it (the one with an '*' on it, or you can press Alt+R)

Then the search field will be used as a Regex, and you can use the found patterns using the usual $1, $2, $3 vars in the replace box

Answer 2

I had a similar task to perform, the regex I used in the manner that Nas62 suggested was

style=\"(.*?)\"
