string - Regex for remove everything after | (with | )

Question

I was trying to find a solution for my problem.

Input:

This is the sample title | mypcworld

Output:

This is the sample title

I want to remove everything comes after " | " using simple regex on notepad++ It seems to be really simple one. But I was tried with some other regex "|.*$" listed on here, but no luck. The problem was the character "|" was alteration equivalent of or. So please help me to solve it.

Answer 1

The pipe, |, is a special-character in regex (meaning "or") and you'll have to escape it with a .

Using your current regex:

|.*$

I've tried this in Notepad++, as you've mentioned, and it appears to work well.
