remove data

Post by skwareks »

Hi All,

Need some help! :-) I have over 200 files where I need to remove everything after

^symbolset 108


Does anyone know what I should search for?

Search For:
^symbolset 108.*

Replace with:
^symbolset 108

Thank You in advance!

Everything meaning the rest of the line and all following lines?

Then
'.' does not match the newline character
should NOT be checked.

If this doesn't help:

What happens, what do you want to happen?

I think Im trying to do something similar.
I have a file that contains a few thousand lines.

I would like to remove then end of each line from "[Tab]" to the end.
leaving the begining of the line intack.
Am i missing something?

By "[Tab]", do you mean the tab character?

If so:
Find what: \t.*
Replace with: [nothing]

[X] Regular expression
