      Example:
      https://github.com/prometheus/procfs/blob/v0.6.0/LICENSE
      https://github.com/ryanuber/go-glob/blob/v1.0.0/LICENSE
      https://github.com/spf13/cast/blob/v1.5.0/LICENSE
      https://github.com/spf13/pflag/blob/v1.0.5/LICENSE
      https://github.com/stretchr/objx/blob/v0.4.0/LICENSE

      Remove everything up to the v in each line and also remove the v.

      I have been researching this all morning and cant figure it out.

        You need to be very careful with this, because v could in theory appear earlier in the URL than the v you are (I believe) referring to.

        Find: (?-is)^.*?/v
        Search mode: Regular expression

          This doesnt seem to be working. Also we could look for /v and remove everything before and /v if possible.

            How can this in any way be considered “not working” according to your description of your desired results?

            Remove everything up to the v in each line and also remove the v.

            before

            https://github.com/prometheus/procfs/blob/v0.6.0/LICENSE
            https://github.com/ryanuber/go-glob/blob/v1.0.0/LICENSE
            https://github.com/spf13/cast/blob/v1.5.0/LICENSE
            https://github.com/spf13/pflag/blob/v1.0.5/LICENSE
            https://github.com/stretchr/objx/blob/v0.4.0/LICENSE
            

            after

            0.6.0/LICENSE
            1.0.0/LICENSE
            1.5.0/LICENSE
            1.0.5/LICENSE
            0.4.0/LICENSE

            Please note, if you had used the Search/Replace Template, there would have been no ambiguity in your desires.

              That’s really just a restatement of the same problem statement from before, which you claim “isn’t working”.
