How to remove a part of URL by using regex in notepad ++?

Question

I have some URL look likes:

<loc>http://www.website.com/category/keyword1-keyowrd2-v894545</loc>
<loc>http://www.website.com/category/keyword1-v3650159</loc>
<loc>http://www.website.com/category/keyword1-keyword2-keyword3-v35460159</loc>

How to remove "-v894545", "-v3650159", and "-v35460159" at last of URL in notedpad ++ ? Thank you very much !

I've tried out @vks solution, and it worked for me. Put -v\d+$ in the Find what input box, and an empty string to the Replace with. Search mode: regular expresson. And click replace all. — traianus

Yes, your code works with old URL. However, I changed my URL. So, how to apply it with my new URL. Sorry, it is my mistake !

If you want to remove the last part of the string along with -, do :

1. Open replace window
2. Select `Wrap Around` checkBox and `Regular Expression` radio button.
3. Put `-[^\-]+$` in `Find what` text field and `</loc>` in `Replace with`
4. Press `Replace All`
