I have a text below with data in a CSV file
2,3
4,5
6,7When I save an open this in notepad++, it has extra commas like
2,3,,,,
4,5,,
6,7,,,,,like you see, there are variable number of leading commas,
I tried a regex match using:
/,{2,}/ I have selected the regular expressions combo-box from the search mode in ctrl + H Replace box.
For some reason this is not working. What do I need to do to match multiple comma and not get rid of single comma?
Is there a better way to get this done in notepad++?

Regex:
,{2,}$Replacement string:
empty stringThis will replace two or more trailing commas with an empty string. To remove all the trailing commas then use ,+$ regex.
\d+(?:,\d+)?\K.*$You can use this.Replace by empty string.This will work with data like 2,3,
See demo.
