I am attempting to learn Regex syntax for use in Notepad++ but I have hit a snag. I need to use the Find/Replace feature to remove a variety of characters from a given block of text and replace them (as a group) with one of these: |
My difficulty is in determining the syntactic construction for specifying the starting and ending characters of the items I want to delete while also allowing any unspecified number of characters between them to be deleted too. The characters can be alphanumeric or nonalphanumeric (e.g. ">").
Here are examples of what I want to replace:
$uadr_ewgh_ksiyer:_
*$addr_abcr:4c_
$plbgtac_tgcvaxd:31_
$id:3_
$scxzatej:u $loihbv:u, $lgftvcu:u 5, 8734 $de 7:22 KL_
$(14836)_
Please note: Those samples also originally contained angled brackets "< >" which will have to be deleted too, but the site seems to think they are being used here as brackets to surround some kind of code. Will Notepad++ accept them as characters to be replaced or do they serve some special function in the syntax that prevents them being specified as a target for removal?
Thank you for your help!!
