Hello @ani-rodet and All,

Just one regex S/R and you’re done :-)

So :

• Open the Replace dialoag ( Ctrl + H )

• SEARCH (?-s)^.*[[:xdigit:]]{40}.*\R

• REPLACE Leave EMPTY

• Tick the Wrap around option, if necessary

• Select the Regular expression search mode

• Click once on the Replace All button or several times on the Replace button

Notes :

• The first part (?-s) ensures that the regex char . will match a single standard character, only ( not EOL ones )

• Then the part ^.* searches for the longest, even EMPTY, range of characters till …

• Now, the part [[:xdigit:]]{40} looks for, exactly, 40 hexadecimal characters

• The final part .*\R selects all the remaining characters of current line with its like break ( \R )

• The overall match is just deleted as the replacement zone is empty

Best Regards,
