Please clarify what you want as it's not clear. Do you want to delete all characters on each line after a specified character? All characters on a line after position n? Please click edit and improve the question so it's unmistakably clear to any reader of this site. Also, have you consulted their help forum site? emeditor.com/forums — K7AAY, Commented Mar 6, 2020 at 23:39
If you only want a solution in emeditor why did you tag your question with two irrelevant text editors and "email filter"? I can tell you exactly how to do this in minimal steps in Notepad++ (one of your tags) without having to change every line one-by-one, but can't because you have explicitly said you don't want that solution in your question. — Mokubai, Commented Mar 7, 2020 at 8:35

If all you want is to truncate the line after the colon, this is simple using the option in the Replace dialog of Regular Expressions:

Find: (.*:).*
Replace with: \1
