  hello! would be very appreciative if anyone could help me

  i've a few URLS, like this

   

  http://www.neopets.com/process_click.phtml?item_id=1821 alt=1,
  http://www.neopets.com/process_click.phtml?item_id=1822 alt=2,
  http://www.neopets.com/process_click.phtml?item_id=4444 alt=3,
  http://www.neopets.com/process_click.phtml?item_id=4444 alt=4,

   

  is there anyway to remove the space, and the characters after the space? which means the " alt=1," " alt=2," and so on?

  
  obviously not manually =X

   

  so in a nutshell, i'm looking for something that can remove characters after the space or something like that.

  I don't get you. Why can't the alt or any other parameter be removed manually?

  He wants to remove those extra parameters automatically, as a batch, I think.

  Not copying and pasting into Notepad, highlight alt=1, press backspace button.

  Then repeat for the next URL

  Oh. Simple. Download and install a text editor that supports text replacement using regular expression such as SciTE. Then run it and replace all occurrences of " [0-9a-z,=]" with nothing (note that there is a space before the "[" character)
  . Remember to check the "Regular expression" checkbox before doing so.
