Wow. I totally misread that question. My original answer stripped the stuff in the brackets out and left the rest. I'll be right back. Best, DF |

Ok, this works for some examples I made up. REPLACE method: Replace: ^([^\[]*)\[([^\]]*)\](.*)$ Replace with: $2 NOT case sensitive Use regular expressions: YES Apply to: NAME Sorry about the mix-up earlier, I hope you didn't see it! :) Best, DF PS. If anyone needs to remove a set of square brackets and enclosed text from some filenames, I have a script for that... that's what I get for watching The Office while playing on the computer. :) Aw, heck. Here are the scripts: ------------------- // Trim everything outside square brackets (plus brackets): var theRest = item.name ; var theTarget = theRest.match(/([^\[]*)\[.*\](.*)$/) ; var theReturn = theTarget[1] + theTarget[2]; theReturn = theReturn.trim(); return theReturn ; --------------- // Trim all but what's in square brackets: var theRest = item.name ; var theTarget = theRest.match(/([^\[]*)\[([^\]]+)\](.*)/) ; var theReturn = theTarget[2] ; theReturn = theReturn.trim() ; return theReturn ; ------------- |

Alternate way to accomplish your desired results: - Replace method: Replace:*[\]* With: (empty) Use regular expressions: No Apply to: Name -edited by DF |

Hey Styb, That just gets rid of the brackets, not the stuff outside the brackets. But this works: *[\]* Good catch, though. A lot simpler than regex or scripts. I always forget that stuff! :) Best, DF |

No problem my friend. I didn't understand it the first time either! And English is my ONLY language! :) |
