Text Editor that can delete text based based on part of a string

[CalvinHobbes]

I'm not sure if this is possible but I was looking for a text editor that can delete parts of a line of text based on a text string.

For example:

The Matrix :: Text - Text - Text ...

I want to be able to delete everything starting with :: until the end of the line of text.

gvim

if you know the keystrokes and commands. It's not the easiest editor to use but probably one of the most powerful

or you can learn sed (which vim uses too) to substitute text...again this is a very cryptic language, but it can parse/modify anything that is text

I figured it out using UltraEdit. I had to use regular expression syntax.
