RegEx - how to select the second comma and everything after it
I am using UltraEdit. I have a text file containing lines like
Workspace\\Trays\\Dialogs\\Components, Expand, kThisComputerOnly, P_BOOLEAN },
WebCommonDialog Sign_Out, Left, kThisComputerOnly, P_INTEGER_RANGE(0, 4096) },
ThreeDTextDlg, x, kThisComputerOnly, P_INTEGER_RANGE(0, 4096) },
Preferences\\Graphics, CtxDbgMaxGLVersionMajor, kThisComputerOnly, P_INTEGER },
UltraEdit allows you to create PREL, UNIX and UltraEdit RegEx style. I need to select the second comma and everything to the end of the line and remove it.
Using regexpal.com I've tried several different approaches but can't figure it out.
/,\s.+/ selects the first comma
/[,]\s.+/ same as above
I cannot figure out how to choose the second command and further.
I also searched StackOverflow and found some examples but couldn't change them to work for me.
Thank.

You can use Perl's regex option with the following pattern:
^([^,]*,[^,]*),.*
and replace with \1
.
See regex demo .
More details
-
^
- beginning of line -
([^,]*,[^,]*)
- Group 1 (later referred to with a\1
backlink from the replacement pattern):-
[^,]*
- any 0+ characters other than comma (to prevent line overflows, add\n\r
negative characters to the class -[^,\n\r]*
) -
,
- comma -
[^,]*
- any 0+ characters except comma
-
-
,
- comma -
.*
- any 0+ characters other than line break characters
