hello,

I tried to write a simple RegExp to remove Numbers in string between square brackets

Code:
Dim oRegExp As New RegExp, sName As String
    With oRegExp
        .Global = True
        sName = "Exeere 4242 [111AAAA222 222 BBB33333,33CCCC444-44DDDD5555]"
        .Pattern = "(\[)" & "(\D*)\d+(\D*)" & "(\])"
        sName = .Replace(sName, "$1$2$3$4" & "")
        Debug.Print sName
    End With

input string: Exeere 4242 [111AAAA222 222 BBB33333,33CCCC444-44DDDD5555]

Numbers in RED color should be removed.

Wanted Result = Exeere 4242 [AAAA BBB,CCCC-DDDD]

How can i do this?

Hint:

I wnat to remove any Numbers in the string between brackets regardless of the pattern of this string. (the pattern of the string between brackets may change)

I have posted this query in other forum and i get some solutions but am looking a silmpler code.

The obvious question is...why do you need / want simpler code, if provided code works ? 😎
