I need to find a certain pattern in notepad and delete all of it. So the lines might be something like:

1,2,c(0,9,3),5,7,9,2
2,3,c(4,7,2),5,4,3,1

and I want to get back:

1,2,5,7,9,2
2,3,5,4,3,1

how should I do this? Thanks

CodePudding user response：

1. Open the replace dialog
2. Select the radio button for regular expressions
3. Use the search pattern

^(.*?),c\(.*?\)(.*?$)

4. Replace it by

$1$2

This should match your lines and the both capture groups capture the parts you want to keep. Then we replace by the content of the both capture groups $1$2
