multiple txt to one new txt

guy038

Hi, @pinuzzu99 and All,

Nice ! I even succeded to merge your two kinds of text, by adding a third alternative in the search regex !

So, starting with the input text, below, where the e-mail adresses may be :

Preceded with any chars ( asda, 12345 …), followed with, at least, one space char OR beginning the line
Followed with, at least, one field, determined by a colon separator char

bla bla blah
bla bla blah
bla bla blah
asda ladgdfg_jfdggs@yertynno.com.vn:1234556:1654473467:53687091200
bla bla blah
bla bla blah
jegfa@nkcore.com:jeryr55673:1757810123:53687091200
bla bla blah
bla bla blah
12345      ghyfm36@rocgfhmmail.com:mintgg18509:0000000000000:1111111111:55555555555555:777777777777777777:99999999999
bla bla blah
bla bla blah
bla bla blah
asda           v7cifgthhy@yasbco.com.tw:512454215:380488:53687091200

Use the following regex S/R :

SEARCH (?-s)^(?!\h*[\w.\x20]+@).*\R?|^.*?\x20+|.+?:.+?\K:.+
REPLACE Leave EMPTY
Of course, the Regular expression search mode is selected and the Wrap around option is ticked
You must use the Replace All button, exclusively ( Not the Replace button ! )

We get the following output text :

ladgdfg_jfdggs@yertynno.com.vn:1234556
jegfa@nkcore.com:jeryr55673
ghyfm36@rocgfhmmail.com:mintgg18509
v7cifgthhy@yasbco.com.tw:512454215

Notes :

This regular expression is composed of 3 alternatives :

The first part (?-s)^(?!\h*[\w.\x20]+@).*\R?, which have been explained previouly. If deletes any entire line, which does not contain a @ char, after a non-null range of words chars and possible dot and/or space chars
The second part ^.*?\x20+ which deletes all text between beginning of line and a non-null range of space characters, if that line contains an e-mail address, further on
The third part .+?:.+?\K:.+ deletes, after the e-mail adress, from the second : char found till the last standard char of the current scanned line
Note, in this last part, the use of the lazy quantifier +? to identify all standard chars between the first and the second : chars and the \K syntax before the second : char, which resets the overall search and just grabs all the remaining chars of current line, from the second :, included

Remark :

I strongly advice you to learn the regular expresions world ! Of course, you’ll have to study for 1/2 months, but it’s really worth it ;-)). To begin with, consult this FAQ :

ohhhhh very great! many thanks for your help! very very thanks.
and you’re right when you say you have to study. and usually I do. but in the case of np ++ using little, it did not occur to me to search and learn reg ex expressions. but I will take your suggestion into account.

for my question: this is ANOTHER txt, then different. but anyway you code work great, my intent was that! very very many thanks for your help!

Hi, @pinuzzu99,

Ah, OK ! So, if we consider that there were 2 separate tasks and starting with your exact input text, below :

ladgdfg_jfdggs@yertynno.com.vn:1234556:1654473467:53687091200
jegfa@nkcore.com:jeryr55673:1757810123:53687091200
ghyfm36@rocgfhmmail.com:mintgg18509:11767409268:53687091200
v7cifgthhy@yasbco.com.tw:512454215:380488:53687091200

The following regex S/R :

SEARCH (?-s)^.+?:.+?\K:.+
REPLACE Leave EMPTY
Click on the Replace All button, exclusively

should leave you with your expected result :

ladgdfg_jfdggs@yertynno.com.vn:1234556
jegfa@nkcore.com:jeryr55673
ghyfm36@rocgfhmmail.com:mintgg18509
v7cifgthhy@yasbco.com.tw:512454215
