I want to strip off TICKET0041960 so the result will be 

Fix code at css

I used this 

TICKET[.0-9]

TICKET[.0-9] means the string TICKET followed by either a dot or a digit between 0 and 9.

What you actually need is TICKET[0-9]+: the string TICKET followed by one or more digits between 0 and 9.

[0-9] can be simplified to \d (i.e. TICKET\d+), but don't forget to escape the backslash in Java since in a string literal (i.e. TICKET\\d+).

You may want to remove the leading space(s) as well: TICKET\d+\s+ (again, TICKET\\d+\\s+ for Java).
