Regex find second / and count 5 characters onwards












1














Is there a way to find and replace using regex here? I want to find the second /, then count 5 characters father and remove these 5 characters.



This:



fhp/wa_od/11111_picx
a_wpu/hxpokpa/HW18H_wdij
awo/p8i_dxawp/KW920poij_m


Should become this:



fhp/wa_od/_picx
a_wpu/hxpokpa/_wdij
awo/p8i_dxawp/poij_m

You can use this regex which captures some optional text followed by /, whole of this pattern two times and groups them in group1, then captures 5 characters next to it and then groups remaining characters after those five characters in group2 and finally replaces by whatever matched by group1 and group2.



((?:.*?/){2}).{5}(.*)


Replace it with 12

You can use the folowing regex:



/(w+?/w+?/).{5}(.*)/g


It creates a capturing Group that matches one or more Word characters, followed by a slash, then again one or more Word character, followed by a slash. Then it matches 5 of any character, followed by a Group that matches the rest.



You then replace with:



$1$2 (or in some regex flavors: 12)
