I know that I can use column mode but I would like to know how to do it with reg exp. For example:
aaxxxxx
bbxxxxx
ccxxxxx
How to remove aa bb and cc.
Thanks

Unix mode:

Find What: ^..(.*)$
Replace With: \1

In UltraEdit style:

Find What: %??^(*^)$
Replace With: ^1

Regular expression translations between legacy Unix and UltraEdit style can be easily done with the tables in the help of UE/UES at topic "Regular Expressions" which I have told you already and you hopefully have read it carefully.

Following does the same faster:

Find What: %[~^r^n][~^r^n]
Replace With: nothing
