I have a text file which contains a repeating (unique) Order # string, which I would like to replace with a space at the end for each occurrence. The Order # string always has the xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx pattern.
For example:
Before:

Is there a way to do this within Notepad++ or UltraEdit?

Wildcard Pattern Replace

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
