Re: How to remove special text?

How can I remove all the text in a txt file from the beginning of each line to the last ":" in one step or a few clicks or so?

For example (one line, there are about 1000 lines):

I:\Eigene Dateien\xxxx\yyyy\aaaa\abc.eml : OECustomProperty (913 bytes)

The bold text shall be kept, the colored text shall be removed (the color appears not to work, so this text keep:

"I:\Eigene Dateien\xxxx\yyyy\aaaa\abc.eml"

Search/Replace with regular expressions

Search: ^.* (: )
Replace: $1
[x]Regular expresions

you are looking for anything .* from the begin of line ^ up to space:space
you want to preserver your :, so we enclose it with brackets (: ) and return back in replace expression as first brackets content $1

Many thanks.

Works perfectly.

I hope, I am able to use your template lines and explanation for may be slight changes if need be.

Thank you again.
