RegExReplace optimisation Topic is solved

[SL5]

hi

In my list the lines are shortened and should still be understandable for humans.
Example of the line (other examples https://regex101.com/r/GQjPg0/3 :
Recent|r|C:\Users\bla\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
will only
Recent
displayed.

That's great.

But if one line contains e.g.
Simple
will only
Sim
displayed.
This is stupid. Simple alone would be understandable enough.

i use this regex:
^[_]*([^|\n]+)[^\.\n]*?([^|\n]{3,})$

and i test / develop it here:

Provide more details. Do you want only first word to be displayed, part of the sentence (up to X symbols) or entire sentence till | symbol?

thanks. a simple ? at the end did the job.

the green area is the visible part for the user.
the blue is metainformation for the script.
the red is what executed from the script (if there is now red and now blue part script set in the green part).

i use it i my github IntelliSense script.

BTW in the regex before also the file extension .ahk was cut of. its also ok i think to have it with extension. its also good readable with extension.

How about this?:
^[_]*([^|\n\r]+)(\|[^\.\n]+\|)?([^|\n\r]+)?$
