I have 18 MB data script file where i have to find string like this replace with empty string in NotePad++
(1,
(2,
(3,
....
(312456
total # of records are 312456. start string will have "(" and end string will be first comma(,) in the file. I tried something like this ^([\d*]$
I am no way near to the right expression
Here is sample data
VALUES (1, 258, N'somedataaa', N'000010000001', N'', N'', N'', N'', getdate())
it should be after replacement like this
VALUES (258, N'somedataaa', N'000010000001', N'', N'', N'', N'', getdate())

Try using:
^\(\d+,$
For find and nothing for the replace?
EDIT: As per update, try using this:
(?<=\()\d+,\s*
And replace with nothing.
