REGEX match everything before #

JLius · 01-08-2017, 02:32 PM

Hi all

I can't seem to get my regex right.
I have a file with a lot of enumerations (if that's the correct translation).
For example:
102 # blabla
103 # blabla
450 # blabla
499 # blabla

I want to delete al the numbers AND the # and keep only the blabla

Would something like this be right?

Code:

.*(?##)#

and replace with nothing.

Thanks a lot!

Not tested

\d+\s\#\s(.+?)
replace with \1 <the stuff after the #<space>

Thank you, will try when mine fails (seems to be working at the moment though)
