Notepad++ delete until colon for every line with replace all

I'm using Notepad++ Replace box to delete text to the left of the colon (:) in all 3 lines of my file:

TRACE: do

TRACE: re

TRACE: mi

I'm using ^[^:]+: in the 'Find what:' field and 'Replace with:' is empty but when it goes to the next line it automatically selects and deletes what was output in the previous line, so when I run Replace All it results in:

mi

It should show:

do

re

mi

Solution 1:

It's a "bug" ("feature") of Notepad++, you have to capture the rest of the line and use the value in replace:

• Find what: ^[^:]+:(.+)$
• Replace with: $1
• check Wrap around
• check Regular expression
• UNCHECK . matches newline
• Replace all

Another way is:

• Find what: ^[^:\r\n]+:
• Replace with: LEAVE EMPTY
