You can use this regular expression in a "Replace" or "Remove pattern" method:
.*? .*? .*?\K .* If you use "Replace" then be sure to select 1st occurrence. Each instance of ".*? " will match a string of characters up to and including the next space and the the final ".*" adds the remaining characters to the match. Inserting "\K" is an instruction to forget everything that has been matched up to that point - leaving only the character string starting with the 3rd space to be removed or replaced. Note that the "?" instructs the "*" modifier to match the minimum number of characters necessary. There is an introduction to the use of regular expressions in the user guide: www.advancedrenamer.com/user_guide/regular_expresions However the list of metacharacters in the guide does not include "\K" or this special use of "?". |
