Hi All,
I have a text like below..

dn: cn=user,ou=some,o=org
something: some/data/some/data

dn:cn=usera,ou=some,o=org
something: other/data/other/data

I want to remove everything after first slash like below..

dn: cn=user,ou=some,o=org
something: some

dn:cn=usera,ou=some,o=org
something: other

How I can use regular expression to do this in the textpad?

Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply but it did not work for me..
I tried as below
find - /.*
replace - nothing

I made sure regular expression check box selected.

Thanks again..
