How to remove duplicate entries in each line

zcraber

I’ve an HTML file with duplicate href attributes like this:

<a href="https://example.com/" href="https://example.com/" target="_blank">Example</a>
<a href="https://website.com/" href="https://website.com/" target="_blank">Website</a>
<a href="https://sample.com/" href="https://sample.com/" target="_blank">Sample</a>

How can I remove the duplicate href attribute in each line using Notepad++?

Maybe try:

find: (?-s)(href="https://.+?\.com/" )(?=\1)
repl: nothing
mode: Regular expression

Hi @alan-kilborn, thanks a lot for the reply. Appreciate your time.
I forgot to mention that there are various domains like .org, .co, .gov etc in the file.

Is there a regex that handles all of these?

Sorry about that. Next time I’ll be more specific. :)
