Regular expressions in Sublime Text 3

Question

I am trying to make a regular expression that replaces the content of the texts in parentheses.

I have used the following regular expression:

"([A-Za-z ]*)"

But as you can see in the following image does not work:

Thank you and greetings.

Answer 1

Remove the double quotes from your expression and escape the parentheses:

\([A-Za-z ]*\)

Details :

• \\( - a literal (
• [A-Za-z ]* - zero or more ASCII letters or spaces
• \\) - a literal ) .

The unescaped (...) form a capturing group that stores a submatch in the memory buffer that can be used later during matching or replacement via backreferences.
