<![CDATA[Simple Regex Request -- TIME]]>Hi

I have a recurring log that needs to be edited regularly to subtract the time element. I will post an example of the log:

[18:16:16] John A: Done. That did not take long.
[18:16:50] Michelle Z: “Any questions so far?”

What i want:

John A: Done. That did not take long.
Michelle Z: “Any questions so far?”

I attempted to learn the process of creating a Regex but it is all so complicated for me. I did look over several tutorials.
There is no space before the open bracket on each line and there should not be a space before the name when edited.

Thank you VERY much for the help!

And to match an arbitrary-length sequence of spaces, try \s+ instead of \s\s.

Not only does it work well but I learned from this and used what I learned already! Your Regex left a space at the beginning of each line because you did not perceive there was an additional space there. I added a \s at the end of it and that got rid of that extra space.

This was very valuable to me.
