How to delete multiple words/part of lines in log

Marko Dmitrović

Hi!

Lots of time I’m editing huge log files, for ex. today I’m editing ~ 600 lines. How can I use regex to delete specific stuff to save time? To be precise:

access-list xxx extended permit udp host 10.10.10.10 20.20.20.20 255.255.255.0 eq snmptrap (hitcnt=0) 0xc1bfb91f
access-list xxx extended permit udp host 10.10.10.10 20.20.20.20 255.255.255.0 eq snmptrap (hitcnt=500) 0xc1bfb91f

So afterwards it’s just:
access-list xxx extended permit udp host 10.10.10.10 20.20.20.20 255.255.255.0 eq snmptrap
access-list xxx extended permit udp host 10.10.10.10 20.20.20.20 255.255.255.0 eq snmptrap

So basically, I just need to delete any stuff after (

Tnx

You can try

CTRL+F
Then click on Change and search for: (.*

It search for text that contains ( and all after the ( will removed
