Do a search for: ^.*(c=[0-9.]+)$
^ anchor pattern to beginning of line .* any number of any character () capture buffer — copy anything inside the brackets to ‘\1' [0-9.] look for any of these characters + 1 or more times $ end of line and replace the entire match (i.e. line) with the capture buffer: \1 You could make the IP match more exact, but I don’t think the complexity is warranted.
