The task is to remove the date or time in the log file, for example, this:
[11:33] hello
[11:35] how to replace timestamp with a space?
[12:16] probably this can be done using regular expressions
[12:44] I tried period (.) But nothing comes out
[15:12] how to remove numbers from the log?
To do this, we turn to the (my favorite) Notepad ++ editor which is free and open-source.
Press ctrl+h, and choose “Regular expressions”; in the upper field put this:
\[\d{2}:\d{2}\]
‘\’ – will screen bracket ‘[‘ , because in regular expressions such symbols used for assigning parameters, so you have to screen them;
‘\d’ – this is regular expression for any number from 0 to 9
{2} – gives number of symbols on which regular expression will be applied
So, ‘\d{2}’ – will replace two number symbols.
The same way with the date, eg:
2018-11-08 16:58:16 how to remove the date and time from the log?
2018-11-08 17:02:51 replace any numbers
To do so we use:
\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}
Additionally some more useful expressions:
^[#].*
delete all strokes which starts with #
[\r\n]+
delete new stroke (\n)
^[ \t]*$\r?\n
replace empty strokes on something (eg on ‘A’)
For example, we need to change values in expressions which got new stroke symbol:
?:[AND [EQU $CLASS Mage] [EQU $RACE Damned] [EQU $GENDER Female] ] RF:<player>:0x97:0x81
Regex:
Damned] \[EQU \$GENDER Female] ]
RF:<player>:0x\w{2}:0x\w{2}
Change at:
Damned] [EQU $GENDER Female] ]\r\nRF:<player>:0x97:0x81
Good luch! Will be glad to see your comments! 🙂
