Remove a part of string from one character to another

Question

For the following strings in a string:

User Input(id=2345) : Hello
User Input(id=9423924) : Hi!
User Input(id=233123) : How's it going

I want to remove the part in the brackets. to look something like:

User Input: Hello
User Input: Hi!
User Input: How's it going

I have tried the follow code:

import re
file = file1.read()
for line in file
   print(re.sub(r'\((.*?)\line)\+', '', line)) 

it gives me an error- any suggestions would be really helpful! Thank you

Answer 1

You can use regular expressions:

>>> s = 'User Input(id=2345) : Hello'
>>> import re
>>> re.sub(r'\(.+?\)', '', s)
'User Input : Hello'

This will not work super robustly for nested brackets, but for the input at hand, it should do just fine.
