Remove text from withing Brackets
Hi, all.
I'm new here.
Does anyone know how to remove everything that is within the brackets, in a Text File.
For example, the text file might include something like this:
(The door opens)
I would like to remove the whole thing, and anything else that might be there in other brackets.
Thanking you in advance.
Suny.

Hi Suny,
I can't tell from your question if you are asking about removing parts of a text file NAME or parts from within the text file itself. Advanced Renamer only works on changing file NAMES; if that's not your intent you need a "grep" type of file.
If you need to remove brackets, or parentheses, in a filename, see this thread:

Hi.
Thank you for your reply.
My question is about removing parts from withing the text file itself.
So, I'm assuming that I will have to do it manually.
Once again.

There are tons of grep-style programs out there, both free and for-profit, that will do what you want, just do a search for "grep windows" (or whatever OS you use). I use PowerGREP, a paid program, that is really powerful and will also do file renaming similar to Advanced Renamer; it's a lot more complicated though, than the Unix-style grep programs, even with a GUI. Also expensive. But just look around, you can find something to suit you.
EDIT: Oh, it just occurred to me that most any Windows text editor will do what you want, as long as it has regular expressions. Notepad++ might do the trick for you. END EDIT

Hi
As Delta told you can use Notepad++ for removing the brackets and the content. Use the search and replace option. check Regular expression and search :
Search: \(([^)]+)\)
Replace: (empty)

Hi, Miguel.
I even installed Notepad++
And entered in the Search box: \(([^)]+)\)
And left the Reple box empty.
If I could attach an image here, I would show you that it didn't work.
I wish I knew why it's not working for me?

EDIT: Sorry Miguel.
I didn't check 'Regular expression'.
After doing that. Guess what? It works.
Many thanks, indeed.
