How to remove characters from a specific character to the end of the line in Notepad++

To remove characters from a specific character to the end of the line in Notepad++, follow these steps:
- Open the file where you want to perform the character removal.
- Go to the Search menu and select Replace... or use the shortcut Ctrl+H.
- In the window that opens, find the Replace tab.
- In the Find field, enter the regular expression that will search for all characters from a specific character to the end of the line. For example, if you want to remove all characters after =, use the regular expression:
=(.*?)$
- Leave the Replace with field empty, as we want to remove the found characters.
- Make sure the Regular expression option is enabled.
- Click the Replace All button to replace all found occurrences.
Let's consider a simple example. Suppose we have the following text:
product=apple
price=1.2
quantity=100
After performing the above steps, the text will change to:
product
price
quantity
