Re: regex related...search and delete

bla ...

depending on your textfile this can be indefinitely complex.

are parens ever nested?

is it always (L \d+ W \d+)?

If it's not a fix format I would try to match every parens-pair, and call a function with the match with /e modifier. s/$.*?$/kill_LW($&)/ge

> It's a fix format and it's working now. no it's not, chorobas solution will delete any "L " outside of parens too. if its really a fix format, use something like `s/$L (\d+) W (\d+)$/($1 $2)/g` Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]
