In Notepad++, using regular expressions to delete something on each line starting with a certain character?

On each line, I have a list of pdfs followed by junk. Like:

yes.pdf xxxxxx
no.pdf aewrnnta
hello.pdf aewraewr

I would like to make it so I get

yes
no
hello

on three separate lines

How can I do this with regex?

Try -

\.pdf.* in find box

and

'' in replace box

Make sure you have the RegEx radio button checked.
