Geany Text Editor Remove Hash Comments

I recently needed to quickly remove some commented lines from a .htaccess file using Geany (a really nice lightweight IDE or feature rich text editor depending on your point of view).

Geany has some powerful regex replace functionality in there but I found that it was overly aggressive so removed lines that had more than one hash and were in fact title sections that needed to stay intact.

The working formula was:

Search for: 0

And replace with:

\1

And of course tick the regex box.
