Deleting last line in files

[frankm]

I'm sure this is easy but I can't figure out how to do it.

I want to use AFR to delete the last line of a few thousand text files but I don't know what regular expression to use to select the last line - the last lines don't necessarily end with line breaks.

Thanks

Go to main menu - Action - Options - Batch Replace
check "Modifier S"
check "Modifier G"

Go to Batch replace tab, check on "Use regular expressions".
Put into the grid, search for:
\A(.*)\r\n.*\r?\n?\Z

Replace with:
$1

That's all I verified it works perfectly.

Note: in this example we use line breaks used in Windows (\r\n)
Otherwise you should use search for: \A(.*)\n.*\n?\Z
