Selecting text after =

drkkk whrrr

Hey,

I’d like to copy text in my file that is after = each line.
How can I do that?

Example :

errorTitle=An error has occurred
confirmTitle=Confirm

context.cut=Cut
context.copy=Copy
context.paste=Paste
context.delete=Delete
context.selectAll=Select all

Thanks.

Open find/replace form, go to Mark tab (or use Ctrl+M, assuming that shortcut is not already overridden).
Enter (?-s)(?<==).+, use the Mark all command.
All text on each line after the first = character will be marked.
Use the copy marked text command, and paste the copied text in a new file.

If you want to select everything after the first = in a line, that requires a scripting solution discussed here.

And, if that’s what’s wanted, please (OP) state WHY that is valuable to do…

It didn’t work, I don’t know why.

It’s a huge .properties document where I’d like to translate each text after the = in another language.
There’s also things like that :

errors.openUrlError=Failed to open URL: {0}
errors.openDirError=Unable to open ‘’{0}‘’. Maybe it doesn’'t exist?
errors.reportErrorPreface=To report this error, please provide:\n\n
