Type of duplicate lines

Alan Kilborn

@Terry-R said in Type of duplicate lines:

…results have more to do with the number of cores…

My 2 cents on this (and it could be worth much less) is that “throwing more hardware cores” at a problem does nothing for it unless software is written to utilize that hardware.

Do we know that the regex engine used can “divide and conquer” this type of problem, by assigning pieces to multiple cores to work on, and then stitching together the results?

…GHz speed…

Well, yea, raw speed is going to have an impact, for sure.

everything is “more speed/horsepower”

Yes to the former, perhaps to the latter. :-)

I want an example for you to understand:

a_cameronsse@hotmail.com:jof6IutH
aipunts@yahoo.co.uk:pul8OBa4
:
:
abc:bcs:32da
:
a:
:a
orowski@o2.pl:sXOa6
:
onsse@hotmail.com:jof6
:
,:
a.tworowski@o2.pl:sXOa61Dq

Now I want to get the results:

a_cameronsse@hotmail.com: jof6IutH
aipunts@yahoo.co.uk: pul8OBa4
abc: bcs: 32da
a:
:a
orowski@o2.pl:sXOa6
onsse@hotmail.com:jof6
,:
a.tworowski@o2.pl:sXOa61Dq

What do I have to do to get that result? I cannot use expressions instead:

 Find = : 
Replace with =

That is the content of my question 3. Currently I have the answer: That is to use the expression:
Find = ^ :
Replace with = leave blank
I have searched every corner of the forum to find this simple answer. Also because the language barrier makes it difficult for me
I really want to convey my ideas to you. Unfortunately, Google translates incorrectly. Causing misunderstandings, or sometimes causing conflicts. Hope you understand me. Sincere thanks all for your interest in my topic

@Sarah-Duong

Find = ^\:
Replace with : Leave blank

I couldn’t type the punctuation so the sentence I wrote was missing.

Hi @Sarah-Duong, All:

If you only need to delete lines with just a colon (“:”), a simple regex like ^:\R in the find box will do it, and of course leave the replace box empty.

@astrosofista Yes, that is exactly what I need. It seems that there are some symbols I cannot write . It replaces the color or does not display when accompanied by another symbol.
