search for

and replace it with nothing.

You may want to add a space before it if you want to exclude the space

Then you need to check that the left parenthesis is ahead of the stuff you need 
to match. So it's a "lookahead is there's a left parens!":

^.+(?=\()

And if you want to *extract* the stuff that matches, you have a cute "Extract" 
button in the Search dialog to do that.

The manual is of tremendous help too.

What if I wanted to extract all the text up to, but not including, the left 
parenthesis?

including the left parenthesis:
search for \(.+$
replace with nothing

excluding the left parenthesis:
search for (?<=\().+$
replace with nothing

The "exclusion" uses a "lookbehind" match as in "look behind this to see if the 
rest matches, but only act on the rest". So here, it says "look behind a left 
parenthesis see if you find anything"

Removing text from parenthesis on

2020-06-01 Thread Howard 
*Here is an input sample:*

Arizona (5)
Minnesota (4)
Cleveland (2)
San Diego (4)

Using Grep, I want to remove all the text in each item from the left 
parenthesis on. How can I do that?
