删除 Microsoft Word 中每一行的前 N 个字符

Question

I have data in conversation format downloaded from WhatsApp. I have opened the data in MS Word and I want to remove the timestamps which appear on each line before each conversation

[16/02/20, 2:52:20 PM] Ron: Hello there 
[17/02/20, 2:53:21 PM] Harry:Hi Ron.

I want to remove the timestamp from each line. I am using a Macbook. Is there a way to take this to another notepad app and do the same, if not on MS word?

Answer 1

You can do with with a wildcard Find/Replace, where:

Find = \[[!\[]@\]^32
Replace = nothing

No VBA code required.
