Question: replacing placeholder text

[MaxBlack]

Forgive the noob post, guys. I'm looking for a s&r tool that will replace text in a text (.TXT) doc like so.

I have a million text bits such as (see (amidlate0806charltonrios)), (see (a021007charltondeathpen)), and (see (a031307leahyissatestify), (a031607fieldingdelay) and (a032007fieldingcompromise)).

I'd like to use the following search phrase (see (a ... )) or something similar, using the beginning and end snippets, and delete them all. Can TextCrawler do this?

Thanks!

Something like the this Regex:

Code: Select all

\(see \([a].*?\)\)

and replace with nothing will remove the expressions you mention.
