      Hi,
      I have a string:
      A - B - C - D or A - B - C - D - E (the number of delimeters is changing - delimeters contains sapaces before and after “-”)

      I need to replace them with:
      B - C or sometimes C - D or D - E (if the string is shorter then E should be empty - this is optional feature) depending on my needs.

      I saw there is some quite easy formula for that, but I can’t find it.

        I made something like that:
        find: (.+) - (.+) - (.+)
        replace: $2 - $3

        find have to be modified for the number of delimiters.
        Maybe there is some more universal way to do that?

          same result:
          find: .+(. - .)$
          replace: $1

            @Stanisław-Mędrzecki said in RegEx - need to replace delimetered string with some its parts:

            How do you know when to replace with B - C or sometimes C - D or D - E ?
