Hi, I have a question about wildcard searches. 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)

I've been trying variations of the following:

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

but nothing seems to give me quite what I want. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance for any information.

Hi,

by a parenthesis and a space and replace
them with nothing. So, in other words,

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}[(\) )]

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

Thanks again!
