Hello,
I am writing a macro to copy to the clipboard the title of a text in plain text
I am trying to figure out the regex to copy to the clipboard
Fishing around in reddit, I found the following 3 options which did not work:
(.+)\R(?s)(.+)
.+
\A.*
thank you very much
How about
(?m).*$
works perfectly. Thank you so much !!
I must have misunderstood something here or be imagining the wrong context. When used in KM, would .* not suffice? No?
yes, it does work. Thank you !
Do you really need a regular expression ?
( The ordinary %Variable% token gives you any line of a text by its index, where the first line has index 1)
See: manual: Variable Arrays – Custom Delimiters
First line.kmmacros (2.5 KB)
and FWIW, if you were using an earlier version of KM (before the support of \n as a custom delimiter for variable arrays), you could use the lines collection of the For Each action:
thank you. Very useful macro for any "for each line" situation. thank you
Phew! I've made a few howlers here lately so I thought maybe I'd lost it. 
Season's greetings to all.
So it is sed… For anyone else besides me who does not often use sed: the -n flag is to stop the input being repeated in the output, and 1p means "print line 1".
My personal preference is to go straight for %Variable%local_Text[1]\n%,
avoiding the need for an additional action,
but as a variation on the command line theme, there is also, of course:
head -1
Ah, of course. Two classic methods.
One way and another, it's almost as if it's hard to avoid getting the first line of text!
