Hi!
I have another stupid question.

I have a list:

bla. bla bla bla?
bla. bla bla!
bla. bla bla bla bla.
bla. bla bla bla@
bla bla bla bla.
bla bla bla?
bla bla bla!

I would get this result:

bla. bla bla bla?
bla. bla bla!
bla. bla bla bla bla. ----> delete this!
bla. bla bla bla@
bla bla bla bla. ----> delete this!
bla bla bla?
bla bla bla!


How do I delete all the lines that end with a point with regex?

I tried this solution but it does not work!

filter lines of field "List" without regex pattern "(?:^\.)"

Thanks for your help!

what about this one ?

Another option:

FourthWorld wrote:Another option:

Code: Select all

  filter tMyList without "*."

Wow! It works! Thanks Richard!
And how I can do, if I can abuse your patience, the exact opposite?
That is, remove from the list the phrases that have NOT the point at end, with regex?

original list:

bla bla. bla bla bla!
bla bla bla bla bla.
bla bla. bla bla bla
bla. bla bla bla.
bla bla. bla bla bla



what I would

bla bla. bla bla bla! ----> delete this!
bla bla bla bla bla.
bla bla. bla bla bla ----> delete this!
bla. bla bla bla.
bla bla bla. bla ----> delete this!
bla bla. bla bla bla? ----> delete this!

thank you very much!

I am ashamed a bit but I meant in PERL: "hey, removes the lines that end with a point!"
But probably I said "lasjf Vlah f jdf jslgj sjghsdjkf!"

should work! or what did I miss?

for the opposite, just do: or or use the wildcards

so many ways....

Thanks Thierry,
sorry for the delay but I had the flu!
everything works, you are very kind!
I would like to ask you something. There is a web page where I can find the basics of regex art?
A page for hard heads like me? A regex page compatible with LC?
Thank you
