I am currently duplicating entities through an API and there is no duplicate feature yet. Therefore, I am copying the JSON output of an entity and using the POST method of the API to re-create it with a different ID. In order to avoid errors, I have to delete all IDs from the JSON. To do that, I have found a regex that helps me find all the "id": "{guid}" combinations that I can then replace with an empty string using VS Code or Notepad++.

"id": "\[0-9A-F\]{8}-\[0-9A-F\]{4}-\[0-9A-F\]{4}-\[0-9A-F\]{4}-\[0-9A-F\]{12}",

// To be replaced by ... nothing

Inspired by the following Stackoverflow answer: [link ]

Update:

It might be even easier to use the following regex as it just selects the whole line:

"id": ".\*
