Default Need help with wildcard search

Hi, Lisa, thanks for your reply. I tried your first suggestion using ^#^#) and then ^#) in the Find window and it worked great.

Thanks again!

Hi,



I am trying to find all numbers followed


by a parenthesis and a space and replace


them with nothing. So, in other words,


numbers like this:




20)




not using wildcards you could search for:

^#^#) (Special | any digit | any digit | space)



In a second search you could look for just one digit followed by the

parenthesis and a space:

^#)



I've been trying variations of the following:


[0-9]{1,2}[(\) )]






Maybe you have not an English system? Then try (using wildcards):

[0-9]{1;2}[(\) )]
