Variable characters!!Pls pls help me!!

[arielle]

I need some professional help guys. I have a large document containing lots of variable characters within square brackets(see below) I need a macro function to delete all the carachers within the brackets. All of them!

Samples:
['aenottdain, -nad-]
[ainoma'listik]
[,8eno:'gaenik]
...and they vary tremendously. The good news is they are in square brackets so I guess there might be a solution to my problem. I need that asap, that's the bad news.

Many thanks !

This macro gets clipboard text, removes characters within [ ], and puts the modified text into the clipboard.

Code:

Copy      Help

str s.getclip
s.replacerx("(?<=\[)[^\]]+(?=\])")
;s.replacerx("\[[^\]]+\]") ;;to remove [] too, use this instead
s.setclip

[arielle]

It's not working. A message box comes up saying Syntax error for:

;s.replacerx("\[[^\]]+\]") ;;to remove [] too, use this instead

I've cut and paste the formula given, into my macro. Maybe there is more to it.

Cheers
