How to remove brackets in subtitle text with regular expressions?

orion44 · 22nd October 2012, 20:43

I am using a program called "Subtitle Edit" which has an option to enter regular expressions.

I have a srt subtitle file, and I need to remove brackets and all the content inside brackets, for example [Andrew]...

What regular expressions commands do I need to enter to accomplish this?

"\[.+\]" should work (without quotes, also you can right click in the textbox for regex help)

But you might want the more advanced tool in "Tools" -> "Remove text for hearing impaired"
