How to remove the first character of every line in Notepad++ [duplicate]
This is what I came up with.
Find What: ^.?(.*)
Replace with: \1
Search Mode Regular expression
I realize this isn't exactly what you were looking for, but one way to remove the first character from every line is to use the ALT-mouse drag to select the first column of text.
In case you haven't discovered this feature yet, here's how:
- Move to the top of the text, in front of the first character.
- Press and hold down ALT
- Click and hold down mouse button and select the first character of every line, and release.
- Press the DELETE key.
(Probably need word-wrapping off.)
