Remove this type of "prefix"

[Shyvering Barhard]

I have this:

0x1100d89 (5): )))>>
0x1100d90 (21): FFFFFFFFFF))GGDDDDDD4
0x1100daa (12): 0	@	@	P	`	p	
0x1100dcf (6): ))))))
0x1100de8 (5): EEE>>
0x196051a6 (9): v(handles
0x196051b8 (39): Ljava/io/ObjectInputStream$HandleTable;
0x196051e8 (10): passHandle
0x1100e3d (14): ))))))))))))))

I’m just looking to isolate only the strings, this means I need everything before the " : " should be gone, and also the blank space right after it.

If you didn’t understand what I mean, I want the stuff from above ^, like this:

)))>>
FFFFFFFFFF))GGDDDDDD4
0	@	@	P	`	p
))))))
EEE>>
v(handles
Ljava/io/ObjectInputStream$HandleTable;
passHandle
 ))))))))))))))

Note: No strings has a " : " so it may easier! for the regex/extended

Tried that regex but didn’t work.

Maybe try this one:

Find what zone: (?-s)^.+:\x20
Replace with zone: make sure this field is empty
Search mode: Regular expression

This worked amazingly well! Could you please explain the use?? Thanks!

(?-s) -> prevent any following. usage from matching end-of-line characters
^ -> only allow match at start-of-line
.+ -> (from start of line), match one or more characters of any type (except end-of-line)
: -> match a literal :
\x20 -> match a space (could have just used a space but it is hard to see on this site, also, in this case could have used \s or \h)
