      Hi there
      My CSV file is like the sample below. In each line, how to delete everything after the second occurrence of the slash? E.g.:

      /Secure Files/2019 Docs
      /IT and Security/Phil’s Documents/Documents/New Data/Commissions
      /Agency Contracting (External)/Senior Services

      Above will become

      2019 Docs
      Phil’s Documents/Documents/New Data/Commissions
      Senior Services

      Thank you so much.

        You say “after”, but then your example shows deleting everything before and including. I will assume your data, not your description, are correct.

        FIND = (?-s)^(?:.*?/){2} finds two groups of anything (zero or more characters) up to a slash and the slash itself
        REPLACE = leave empty
        SEARCH MODE = regular expression
