Question

What is the regex to remove (ISBN 8987983721) from the string, including ( and ) characters.
I’m trying to do it with Bilk Rename Utility but can not succeed.

I provided (ISBN [0-9]*)() and \1\2 but insted everything is removed from the string except ISBN but I need the opposite effect

Answer 1

Javascript:

string = string.replace(/\(ISBN [^)]+\)/g, '')

PHP:

$string = preg_replace('/\(ISBN [^)]+\)/', '', $string);

sed:

string=$(sed 's/(ISBN [^)]\+)//g' <<< "$string")

Ruby:

string = string.gsub(/\(ISBN [^)]+\)/, '')
