如何在 t-sql 中使用 patIndex 删除右括号

Question

Below is the select I am using to test my patindex. I am trying to remove all special characters but the result set that comes back is like below. Essentially there are some negative numbers with accounting formatting. I need to remove this formatting and have it just be numbers ($102.00).

Sql:
[
0.00,
$102.00)]
select  cast(rtrim(ltrim(Replace([Amount],SUBSTRING([Amount],patindex('%[^0-9]%',[Amount]),1),'') ) )as varchar) from Temp2

Does anyone know how to remove that closing ) ? I have tried a bunch of regex but I just cant get it to go away.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: my apologies. I am using Sql Server I start with [$0.00,($25.00)] I get the above. I need it to look like [0.00,25.00]

I have tried a patindex of '%[()]%' or this '%[\(\)%]' which only removes the first one. and if I flip it, it only removes the closing parenthesis but not the opening one. And a bunch of other combinations.

You can just use Replace 3 times to remove the unwanted characters.

Declare @s varchar(100)
Select @s = '[$0.00,($25.00)]'
Select @s as original,  Replace(Replace(Replace(@s,'$',''),'(',''),')','') as cleaned

If you need to apply that to a column (ex. Amount) in a table, instead of @s, use that column name in a SQL query

Select ...., Replace (.... <<Amount>> ) from yourTable
