Question

I’m new to regex… but here goes.

So, Let’s say I have this data.

13579,24680,13579,24680
13579,24680,13579,24680
13579,24680,13579,24680
13579,24680,13579,24680

So what I want is for it to replace the first comma, and the last comma with nothing. So I just end up with:

 1357924680,1357924680
 1357924680,1357924680
 1357924680,1357924680
 1357924680,1357924680

After it goes through.

I was thinking of a pattern somewhere along ^([^,]+),

But as you can tell, this doesn’t work. Any suggestions or should I rethink what I use to do this?

Try something like this:

regex: ^([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+)$
options: multiline
replace $1$2,$3$4
