      Hello,
      I have a file (CSV) with a good few 1000 records in it.
      My problems is, I need to get rid of a semicolon character at the end of all lines.

      Is there any possibility of doing that in NPP, thus avoiding having to do it by hand one line by one?

      Your help will be much appreciated.

        @Frankie-Deschacht ,

        FIND = ;$ (the $ means “end of line”, not the literal character, in a regular expression)
        REPLACE = emtpy
        SEARCH MODE = regular expression

        ----

        Do you want regex search/replace help? Then please be patient and polite, show some effort, and be willing to learn; answer questions and requests for clarification that are made of you. All example text should be marked as plain text using the </> toolbar button or manual Markdown syntax. Screenshots can be pasted from the clipboard to your post using Ctrl+V to show graphical items, but any text should be included as literal text in your post so we can easily copy/paste your data. Show the data you have and the text you want to get from that data; include examples of things that should match and be transformed, and things that don’t match and should be left alone; show edge cases and make sure you examples are as varied as your real data. Show the regex you already tried, and why you thought it should work; tell us what’s wrong with what you do get… Read the official NPP Searching / Regex docs and the forum’s Regular Expression FAQ. If you follow these guidelines, you’re much more likely to get helpful replies that solve your problem in the shortest number of tries.
