title: Regular expressions in notepad++ (Search and Replace)
body: <p>I have a list of thousands of records within a .txt document.
  some of them look like these records</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>201910031044         "00059"    "11.31AG"  "Senior Champion"
  201910031044         "00060"    "GBA146"  "Junior Champion"
  201910031044         "00999"    "10.12G"  "ProAM"
  201910031044         "00362"    "113.1LI"  "Abcd"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whenever a record similar to this occurs I'd like to get rid of the last words/numbers/etc in the last quotation marks (like "Senior Champion", "Junior Champion" etc. There are many possibilities here)</p>
  
  <p>e.g. (before)</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>201910031044         "00059"    "11.31AG"  "Senior Champion"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>after</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>201910031044         "00059"    "11.31AG"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried the following regex but it wouldn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Search: <code>^([0-9]{17,17} + "[0-9]{8,8}" + "[a-zA-Z0-9]").*$</code> </p>
  
  <p>Replace: <code>\1</code> (replace string)</p>
  
  <p>OK I forgot the <code>.</code> (dot) sign however even if I do not have a <code>.</code> (dot) sign it would not work. Not sure if it has anything to do when using the <code>+</code> sign used more than once.</p>
