Here is my regex statement which works great and highlights what I'm looking for in notepad++
(?<=thd)(.*)(?=]]><\/g_n>)
But when I try to replace it with nothing aka an empty line or a space nothing happens and it just skips to the next find.
I even tried replacing what it found with like '123' or something and that doesn't work either.
To make sure notepad++ is working properly I just did some simple regex replaces and those worked fine.

Are you sure? Try selecting everything in the text and check
In selection
then do the 'Replace All'.I suspect that your cursor was at the end of the file when you clicked 'Replace All' and the option was "Direction: Down". I do that myself sometimes without realising it only later!
