I have a gcode file with over 10000 lines in which each line has a specific z value. It looks something like this:

What I need to do is remove all of the values that start with z, I tried simply selecting z and command and control g to multi select all of them then expanding my selection with the arrow ket to grab all the left over decimal places. The problem is that they don't have all the same amount of decimal places so I end up selecting values I don't want selected.
It seems like maybe regex can do things like this but I'm not familiar with it, any help would be great.
