hi,
I was wondering how to remove all text after the character ; for everyline

Basically atm i have ie., sdfsfs; 1234c
asdasd; 987b


i need it to look like this sdsfs
asdasd

basically remove everything after ; for each line

thanks

Use a perl pattern search/replace
;[^\r\n]*?
Replace with nothing.

is it possible to state the word to end at across multiple lines?

start at ; & remove everything until all lines in between until it hits the word dog?

;cat dfgdgdgdg
dfgdfgdg
dfg
dfgdfg
dfg dog


so it ends up as

;dog

thnx

Very easy, use an EasyPattern search/replace: Replace with nothing.
