Question

I have an SQL-File which i need to modify before importing it into the database.

INSERT INTO 'content' ('id', 'title', 'alias', 'title_alias', ... ) VALUES
(1, ... , ... , ... )
(2, ... , ... , ... )
(3, ... , ... , ... )

Now i want to kick one of the columns, assume alias (the third value)

What would be the appropriate regex for notepad++? I didn’t get measly tries to work:-/

Answer 1

You can do it with regex, but why don’t you do it the other way? I mean:

1. create the table as necessary
2. load the data

3. delete the unneeded column:

   ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;
