another search and insert(=delete) problem
-
actually i am completely stumped - maybe someone can help me…
Using search and insert i want to replace (therefore delete) any entries in a text looking like that:
[1 Kekse]
[22 Kekse]Can somebody please help? Thanks.

It would be nice if you showed what you tried, or at least what your thought process was: “If I were doing this manually, here are the explicit pieces I would look for to determine whether something was a match or not”. For example, I see that and I say "I want to delete lines that start with a bracket, then has one or more digits, a space, the exact text “Kekse”, end bracket, and end of line.
I then convert that to regex syntax.
Given the data:
header [1 Kekse] [1 something else] random text [22 Kekse] footerwith FIND = “
\[\d+ Kekse\](\R|\Z)” and REPLACE = “” (empty), I getheader [1 something else] random text footerwhich would, I believe, match your limited description.
(I have tried to be more helpful and less preachy this time. However, if you are going to have more regex questions, I highly recommend trying to learn a little of the regex syntax yourself. It’s useful for more than programmers, as you can see. At some point, I have a feeling that asking for freebies will stop working for you: first in this forum, then in the next forum you try, and so on.)
