Re: Deleting all after .MP3 till the end of line ?
Replace
mp3.*
with
mp3
Make sure Regular expression is checked
. finds any character
* says: find any amount of whatever is before me,
so
.* finds any amount of any characters
mp3.*
with
mp3

Thank you very much Andreas, I don't now how it missed this one 
Just another question, how do i look for a point in a text then,
f.e. Just like in the prev. example, now i wan't to delete everything after MP3..
In other words the dot get's seen as a command, but how do i want to make it seen as some part of a string ?

For regex to use "." as a literal, use "\."<br>
In general, if a character is used in regex syntax, preceding it with a \ will make regex see the following character as a literal. There are exceptions to the rule, especially with replacement expressions.
See the TextPad help file and Jeff Epstein's nice regex explanations and resources: http://www.jeffyjeffy.com/textpad/docum ... n_faq.html
Good luck,
Roy
