I forgot the command using the Find & replace tool to delete everything after a specific character.


for example asdskahdk:dhdh.com

I want to delete everything after the : So i want this deleted dhdh.com). I forget the command i thought it was *>: but i guess not lol.

It depends mainly on which program you're using.

As linksmaster pointed out, that would work in excel and 'most' other programs. YMMV

Enjoy ..... :cool2:

Depends on the program you are using. Mention about the name of the program you wan to use.

If you are using notetab for example it would be:
regex
find: "(.*)\r\n" (without quotes)
replace: "\r\n" (without quotes) (to keep line feeds)
or
replace: "" (without quotes) (nothing) (to delete without linefeeds)

Why do you ask for help and then sit there and not even reply to others trying to help you? :wt:

Rather rude don't you think!

Enjoy ..... :cool2:

Hey EmailMaster,

I use things like Sublime Text 2
to do things like this. It's a great
free program which can do a lot
of cool things.

Also FWIW you need to use an accurate detailed subject/title line to get the most
help as well as help OTHERS.

i.e. "find/replace syntax" or "Help with search/replace" will help you and others for
years to come.

REMEMBER, no one is going to be searching for "Please help me thanks". :yield:

Enjoy ..... :cool2: ..... popzzz ~ BlackHatWorld.com

Happy 2013 To Everyone!
