I need to get rid of everything between two brackets including the two brackets.

I have tried everything I could think of with no luck.

<cfscript>
MyString = "Eat some [pizza] with beer.";
MyString = reReplaceNoCase(MyString, "", "", "all");
writeOutput(MyString);
</cfscript>

In a text editor, I was using the following string and it worked perfectly well, but I can’t get it working in ColdFusion.

Can you help me?

You have to escape the brackets or they will be interpreted as “any character inside these brackets”
