Line operation that deletes first word on each line

Sam J.

Hello,

Long time ago, there was a line operation that deletes first word on each line. I believe this was back when it was a plugin. Is this functionality still available?

Example:

FIRST TODAY IS MONDAY
SECOND TOMORROW IS TUESDAY

After deleting first word on each line:

TODAY IS MONDAY
TOMORROW IS TUESDAY

In case it matters, I’m using Notepad++ v8.7.7.

Thank you.

Not exactly.

But you can do a regular expression replacement:

Find: (?-s)^\w+ +(.*)
Replace: ${1}

@Alan-Kilborn Great idea! It works wonderfully. Thank you.
