1:RegEx
Code: Select all
Match:  (.*)\s1080p
Replace:  \1

Match anything up to a sequence of <space>1080p
Keep the matching part, discard all else

Just for the records in the latest version you can also use "simple" regular expressions ( switch on option "Simple" in RegEx(1) ). Then match and replace become:

Match:
%1 1080p
Replace
%1

% matches a string of any characters like (.*) in a full regex.
