How remove all characters after pattern in LibreOffice Calc

libreoffice-calc

In LibreOffice Calc how can I use Regular Expressions to find and replace every character after a pattern, and remove the pattern itself.

Example:

  • 123_2015970_etgn.jpg
  • 124_2015971_etgn.png
  • 125_2015972_etgn.JPG

Expected result after Find & Replace (remove _etgn and everything after that pattern)

  • 123_2015970
  • 124_2015971
  • 125_2015972

Best Answer

Try replace _etgn.* with nothing using regular expressions.

Edit Now tested as working - note full stop is required.
