Regex search and replace End Of line

Regex search and replace End Of line

[Herb Martin]

I know this must be easy but have yet to find it in
help:

Goal:  Search for pattern at end of line and remove the
pattern INCLUDING the line termination.

(Tried using several of the replace-regex functions
unsuccessfully.)

example--------------------------------------------------------
test text etc test text =
some stuff
test text etc test text =
some stuff
test text etc test text =
some stuff
-------------------result---------------------------------------
test text etc test text some stuff
test text etc test text some stuff
test text etc test text some stuff
----------------------------------------------------------------

FYI, it was mangled by email encoding.

C-q is your friend:

M-% = C-q C-j RET RET

Thanks -- I was a little uncertain about the "C-j" since this is
a Windows System and I thought it might be "C-m C-j" but
JUST the "C-j" worked fine.

Seems Emacs -- likes Perl -- on Windows does the "right thing"
with EOL.

Oddly enough I am having trouble with C-M-%  (there is special
processing on Windows for Alt which I am suspecting) -- if I
just hit, Ctrl-Alt-Shift for "%" it does nothing -- but if I hit
    Ctrl-Alt-5, hold the shifting keys (Ctrl-Alt) and add Shift-%
    it works.

Doesn't seem to matter what order I depress the shifting keys
(nor trying to depress them all simultaneously.)

There is probably a simpler method, or fix but it works for now.
