Hi, i have a long text and i want to replace everyting between ( and ), but i cant find how to.
Example:
Lorem ipsum (dolor) sit amet, consectetuer (adipiscing elit. Curabitur) convallis mollis (nunc). --> Lorem ipsum sit amet, consectetuer convallis mollis.

Hi,
There are two solutions:
1. Use Replace operation with "Insert Between" action.
So on Main window go to Replace tab and select Between as action.
Then put ( into "Text to Find"
and ) into "Ending With"
then put your text into "Replace/Insert by text"
2. Use Batch replace with activated "Use regular expressions".
For your case, for example, you should use
Search for:
\(.*\)
Replace with:
(put your text here)
then if your text between () may take several lines, I think it is not
your case, you should check "Modifier S" on Options window.
So first variant is a simple one, but second solution is more
flexible.
