Hello all,

I was wondering if anybody knew how I would go about removing the last XX characters in all lines.

e.g. (last 10 characters in the following lines)
line 1 3658(&^^*^
line 2 *(^&*%sdf2
line 3 1%*&&^nkhj

would result in:
line 1
line 2
line 3

Find what: .{10}$
Replace with: [nothing]

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

This assumes you are using Posix regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

much abliged... thank you very much. this worked perfectly for my 800,000+ rows file.
