      Hi there,

      I am trying to configure regex which will remove numbers in brackets (including brackets).

      Something like:

      (4)

      (123)

      (1, 23)

      I tried this regex: ((\d))

      And it’s removing numbers but in brackets but not brackets itself.

      Can you please help?

      Daniel

      Hello,

      First of all, thank you for your purchase.

      Brackets need to be escaped with slashes, as they are Regex operators. So, I suggest you try using:

      (\(\d*\))

      Also, to match (1, 23), I suggest:

      (\([\d\s,]*\))

      You can write your Regex expressions with more ease, on this site, where you can also see their matches: https://regexr.com/

      Let me know if this helped.

      Regards, Szabi – CodeRevolution.

      Hello,

      Interesting, because the Regex seems to be correct.

      Can you send me, please, temporary admin login credentials to your WordPress install, so I can check this issue out? Send it, please, to my email address: kisded@yahoo.com

      Hello,
      I checked and the source article was scraping also some invisible HTML tags in the numbers, example:
      (<hl-trusted-source source=”PubMed Central” rationale=”Highly respected database from the National Institutes of Health”>1</hl-trusted-source>)
      To match also these extended HTML tags I modified the Regex as follows:
      (\((?:<hl-trusted-source[\s\S]*?)?[\d\s,]*(?:<\hl-trusted-source>)?\))
      I applied it to rule ID 0 on your site, please check results.
      Kind Regards,
      Szabi – CodeRevolution.
