Mark or remove partly duplicate lines in Notepad++
3
Let's say i have a file like this opened in Notepad++:
email@address.com:word1
email@address.com:word2
email@address.com:word3
email@address1.com:word4
email@address2.com:word5
email@address3.com:word6
email@address3.com:word7
As you can see lines 1, 2, 3 and 6, 7 are duplicate before the ":". Is there any regex i can use to mark or remove all lines that are duplicate before the ":"?
Thx!

Caution: this will only work on a sorted file.
Ctrl+H
- Find what:
^([^:]+:).+R(?:.*?1.+(?:R|$))+
- Replace with:
LEAVE EMPTY
- check Wrap around
- check Regular expression
- UNCHECK
. matches newline - Replace all
Explanation:
^ # beginning of line
([^:]+:) # group 1, 1 or more NOT colon followed by a colon (i.e. email address)
.+ # 1 or more any character but newline
R # any kind of linebreak (ie. r, n, rn)
(?: # start non capture group
.*? # 0 or more any character, not greedy
1 # backreference to group 1 (email address)
.+ # 1 or more any character but newline
(?:R|$) # non capture group, a ine break or end of line
)+ # group may appear 1 or more times
Result for given example:
email@address1.com:word4
email@address2.com:word5
