Text processing method (find and replace section of codes)?

[legendbb]

Dear expert,

What's the best and secure method to turn source code sections as following:

if (condition) 
[INDENT]do_something{multiple lines}[/INDENT]
else
[INDENT]do_something_else{multiple_lines}[/INDENT]

into:

[INDENT]do_something{multiple_lines}[/INDENT]

I am looking for something like script, or macro search/replace and reformat text.

Really appreciated, if some quick small example can be shared.

This is a weird question, as it looks like you have answered it yourself.

Hmm... do you mean, how can you search and replace many instances? If so, you could either write your own script or use a text editor. For example, Notepad++ is free to download and has a very powerful search-and-replace feature. If you search online, you'll find lots of usage examples. For example, see this: [link].
