Delete line endpoints

[AnninaHirschiWyss]

Hello,

I have a set of several thousand crowdsourced tracks and it happens that the endpoints are far from the next point where the tracking actually started.

Is there a way (tool, script...) to remove all endpoints based on a max distance from the next? Or to make simpler, just delete the first and the last point of my lines.

Thx

Did you try one of these codes?

Perfect, thanks Johannes Bierer‌, that's what I was looking for, but didn't find :-). I just added a condition to Hornbydd's sample to catch the rows with less than 4 vertices and delete them.

This, because the original data contained multiparts and when converting them to single parts, many "two vertices-lines" were created.

Sometimes a small hint helps, glad you get it to work.
