Delete everything in each row after first | occurence in notepad++

My text file is like this:

aa/asdhaetcal02acjjaj 2397 hah|asd93hoa|
azxc./asdh5656al02acj4536|asd93hoa|
azxc./asdhceacjjaj 236y3vh|asd93hoa|

And I want it to be like:

aa./asdhaetcal02acjjaj 2397 hah
hazxc./asdh5656al02acj4536
azxc./asdhceacjjaj 236y3vh

This is just an example. I have over 1k lines. I am looking forward to delete everything from each row after first occurrence of "|"

Do a search and replace (control -H) using regular expressions, and use:

\|.*?\|

as your regex, and replace with nothing. That should get rid of each |blahblah| block.

To erase everything from the first | to the next newline, you can use

\|*.\n
