partial cancellation

[gianni_1]

Hi,
Please, can someone tell me how to delete one or more words enclosed in brackets from the title of many files, also deleting the brackets? For example from: Delphi Complete Works of Apuleius (Illustrated) to: Delphi Complete Works of Apuleius
Thanks.

If the title is always the same , you can
find : (Delphi [^(]+)\([^)]+\)
replace : \1

if you want to get rid of an optional space before the bracket, put :
find : (Delphi [^(]+)\s?\([^)]+\)
replace : \1
with "dot all" unchecked

If the title is always different (e.g. chapter title) you have to have a significative part, e.g. <h1> or <h1 class="myclass"> in :
<h1>Something (something else)</h1>

find: (<h1[^(]+)?\s\([^)]+\)(</h1>)
replace: \1\2
(deleting the optional space)

If you have trailing chars, like in
<h1>Something (something else), part 3</h1>
then :
find: (<h1[^(]+)?\s\([^)]+\)(.*?)(</h1>)
replace \1\2\3
