Default how do I "search and replace" entire line of text

In my document, there are scattered recurring lines of text, all of which
start with the same format of numbers, and end with a (different) same format
of numbers. I'd like "search and replace" to delete all lines of text that
start with "XXXXXX 070" and end with "XX:XX" (I have minot familiarity with
basic symbols used in "search and replace," and am using them in making a
small macro.)
