In notepad++ is there a way to remove all characters from the first semi-colon to the left, then all characters from the second semi-colon to the right? (including the 2 semi-colons mentioned).

Multiple lines will have different number of characters to the left and right of the first 2 semi-colons... so not sure how it could be done.

Original line 

1943;1943: The Battle of Midway (Euro);Final Burn Alpha;;1987;Capcom;Shooter / Flying Vertical;2P sim;270;joystick (8-way);good;1;raster;;;;2

Line needed 

1943: The Battle of Midway (Euro)

    Perfect, thankyou. This list is from a Mame set that is used in a front end that displays it this way.. mame uses abbreviated file names for all their roms. I wanted a clean list of the actual name of the rom.
