Removing all texts prior to a character in a string

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?

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