I am wondering if this is possible… currently in the process of ripping my cds and the result leaves a log file but my ocd is not allowing me to move on until i have edited the log file to the way i need it to be…

Anyway here is a example of the log file

I am trying to remove all the text up until the words “extraction log” so that it looks like this

I am trying to do it on about 20 txt files at one time, is this possible?, thanks

Then i am trying to remove the (3:32) in 0:17

which i am doing with search and replace with (?x-is) \x20 ( .+ (?= . \x20 Filename )

is it possible to do both in 1 go , so i can do as many as i can as quick as i can.

(?x-is) \A [\s\S]+ (?= ^ Extraction \x20 Log \R) | \x20 \( .+ (?= \. \x20 Filename )

should do it. \A matches the beginning of a file, so you can use it to anchor the first of multiple matches; then the OR-bar introduces everything that will be matched later.

Please be careful to use ``` characters to enclose text that should not be interpreted as markdown. If you go back and read your posts, you’ll see that what you typed isn’t what we see. For multi-line sequences like files, put ```text on a line by itself, then the text, then ``` on a line by itself. Inline, just put ``` before and after the text. Alternatively, you can use a backslash (\) to escape special characters. The way the forum software works is not always predictable (at least, not to me), though, so take care to watch the preview to the right of where you type to be sure what you expect is being shown.

Thankyou that looks like it as worked, much appreciated.
