Of the 2 editors that I commonly use:-
*mcedit can: deleteAll [replace with blank] FORWARD. But only single line/s.
*ETHO can: ReplaceAll TEXT-stretch [forward from current position]. But the 
 search buffer is too small. That's why I thought of using a file.

mcedit is labeled <can do Regex> also, although I've never tried it.

The 2 Regex matches which I currently can think of: 
 different lengths of "\n<><>\n" and "[<digits>]",
are probably not the only ones.

So it's looking like a smart editor.
Which I why I expect emacs/lisp  to do it.
