      Hello!

      I have a list of links that I need to trim. Basically I need to remove everything starting with ?__cft

      I googled how to do that but it doesn’t seem to work.

        ? is a special character and so needs to be “escaped” so the regex machine takes it literally (treats it as a simple character).

        Start your expression with \? instead.

          Hello, @Геннадий-Гайдукевич, @neil-shcipper and All,

          In the Find What: field of your picture, we see that searched string :

          ?__cft-.*

          So, from your shown text, I suppose that the correct regex syntax is :

          SEARCH \?__cft__.*

          REPLACE Leave EMPTY

          Best Regards
