Re: Reomove all URLs, links in txt file leading to an image?

How can I reomove all URLs / links in a text file (and / or better the whole text line which contains this URL / link) which are linking an image (jpg, gif, jpeg, png)?

E.g.: h ttp://domain.com/_OR3829Ik4/399/AAAAAbbAAABZQ/tDpQJm0eW_I/s320/image.jpg

modify regilar expression for url's - include image extension on the end of expression and use search/replace dialog and replace it with empty string

Thank you.

Unfortunatly I have any idea of those expressions and do not know how to do it. But it means, there is no expression / function (or at least anything extremely similar) available in PSPad doing this by default.

Thanks again.

Maybe this way:

search:
.*https?://.*\.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png).*

replace:
[empty]

Not tested.

I think you will get a little help here but if you wanna do such thinks you should search for an online tutorial and regex tester and learn some things.

Many thanks Andreas,

Yes, that seems to work very well.

Thanks for the hints, yes actually I should learn about that, but it looks extremely comprehensive. I just tried such a regex tester (http://regex101.com/), it shows two errors obviously, but I could imagine they are not really errors, your regex works great as far as I can see:

/.*https?://.*\.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png).*/

Errors are explained from left to right. Move the mouse cursor over them to see the error highlighted in your pattern
/: Unescaped delimiter
/: Unescaped delimiter

Many thanks again.

In the environment of regex101 they use slashes to surround the regex, so you have to escape the real slashes in your regex with a backslash:

.*https?:\/\/.*\.(jpeg|jpg|gif|png).*

This is a nice one too

And this is a tutorial I've learned from years ago

I'm not a regex specialist just know some basics. I use it in programms like PSPad, File-Search-Tools with PHP and Javascript...

Knowing some basics is not so bad

Yes, knowing some basics is not that bad, there are many circumstances (renaming programs also I assume) you can need those expressions, many thanks for the links. I will have a deeper look at regenechsen, looks very good and understandable.

And many thanks for your regex, Andreas, works fine, for pdf and other files (respectively URLs, links) also.
