Searching and replacing range of charactors

Hi,

The file contains following lines
1.1.2.1. Test Name : Import all valid IACs
1.1.2.2. Test Name : Import invalid IACs
1.1.2.3. Test Name : Import valid and invalid IACs
1.1.2.4. Test Name : Resubmit valid and invalid IACs

I want to search for charactors from 1*****: and replace them with space.

Well you please help,
Thank you

Using regular expression in Textpad I get:

Find ^1[^:]+:
Replace _

Where _=space

I have used POSIX regular expression syntax, which can be selected from the Editor page of the Preferences dialog box. HTH
