Hi im totally new with regex and im failed to look up on this on my own, I think its actually pretty easy...

I want to remove my prevoius export %initialkey% from the %comment%:

Example:  
12B - #furtherinfo; #furtherinfo2; #furtherinfo3  
To this:  
#furtherinfo; #furtherinfo2; #furtherinfo3

But you know, the range of contained keys goes from 1A to 12A and 1B to 12B.

Hope you can help me, how can I do this with one string, thank you

`$regexp(%comment%,'^\d+. - ',)`  
Leads to `#furtherinfo; #furtherinfo2; #furtherinfo3`

Or you could use an action of the type "Guess value"  
Source: `%comment%`  
Format string: `%initialkey% - %comment%`
