Hello all!

My goal is to open a txt and replace every part this meets one of the following criteria with "nothing".

Criteria:
1- Is between paretheses AND the last characther before the closing parentheses is a number
2- Starts with — and the last the last characthers are a number followed by a dot.

I can't get RegExReplace to work even to go a simple "a" to "z" swap, so I'm using StringReplace.

Any ideas???

Thanks!

ps.: The "ZZ" is for testing purposes, than I'll chage it to ""

I'm using "autohotkey-L"

:shock: that's a big expression! It works great! Thanks!

Is there anywhere where all those commands are listed? I know "|" stands for "or" :lol:

I see you use \ instead of `

EDIT: FOund it!
