you can delete one, two or 3 words if you specify how many words these are.
Or you define a separator between the data you want to keep and that you want to delete.
E.g. the Example IN looks like there are 2 blanks before the part you want to keep
Replace with regular expression:
Search string: .\*\_\_
(the \_\_ are 2 blanks)
Replace string:
(Leave empty)

Remove two words at the left side of the TITLE string ...
**$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.+?\s+){2}',)**
Remove two words at the right side of the TITLE string ...
**$regexp(%TITLE%,'(\s+.+?){2}$',)**
Remove any text at the left side of the TITLE string before the text 'hi'...
**$regexp(%TITLE%,'^.\*(hi.\*)$','$1')**
Remove any text at the right side of the TITLE string behind the text 'hi'...
**$regexp(%TITLE%,'^(.\*hi).\*$','$1')**
