Maybe the title is 99% not understandable
I have like that:
abc@5004428
abcd@62604
abcde@505779
But my file is larger than that.
So, I want to remove the whole line that contain "abc" and "abcd" becase they are before @ and they are shorter than 5 or not equal characters.
More explained: I want to remove the whole line which value before @ is shorter than or EQUAL to 5 characters.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You can use regex like this: ^(.{0,4}@.*)$ to select lines and then remove them with Notepad++.
^ - a start of the line
.{0,5} - checks if value before @ is shorter than or equal to 5 characters.
NOTE: .{0,4} will check if value before @ is shorter than 5 characters (not equal to 5 characters).
.* - all other symbols after @.
$ - an end of the line
Set 'Search Mode' to regular expression, and use the following phrase:
^\w{1,5}@.+
works like this:
^- : start of line
\w{1,5} : 1 to 5 word charachters long
@ : matches 'At sign' literally
.+ : remainder of line
and replace with empty line. To replace empty lines set search mode to extended and replace double line ends with single line ends.
