Remove certain part from each line in notepad ++?

Basically I have a huge text file formatted like this:

    496: [email protected]|valrh
    576: [email protected]|$te
    731: [email protected]|bghu78s
    2438: [email protected]|hold
    3340: [email protected]|khadija

I want to edit the list so after removal the list looks like this:

    [email protected]|valrh
    [email protected]|$te
    [email protected]|bghu78s
    [email protected]|hold
    [email protected]|khadija

So basically remove the numbers,the colon, and the space.

Use the Search/Replace dialog.

Use (\d+: )(.*) as the value for "Find what:".

Use \2 as "Replace with:"

Check the "Regular expression" item at the bottom left in the "Search Mode" box.

Input:

496: [email protected]|valrh
576: [email protected]|$te
731: [email protected]|bghu78s
2438: [email protected]|hold
3340: [email protected]|khadija

Output:

[email protected]|valrh
[email protected]|$te
[email protected]|bghu78s
[email protected]|hold
[email protected]|khadija

Find and replace with "" (i.e., leave the "replace with" field blank):

\d+:[ ]
  • \d Matches a digit
  • + Matches one or more of the previous item, in this case digits
  • : Matches a colon
  • [ ] Matches a space - NB You don't need the square brackets; I just wanted the space to be visible

In the future, you can find a lot of great info on regexes at http://www.regular-expressions.info/
