LibreCalc Search and Replace, Search for [] and replace it, along with its contents

Question

I am compiling a list of video games. At this time, I am currently using Wikipedia to do so. As I copied ps3 games over to LibreCalc, the copied titles of the video games include citation brackets at the end of the line. Rather than remove this line by, I am trying to search and replace the brackets and their contents.

I continue to fail in this endeavor. An example below,

Part of my problem seems to be that brackets are characters used in regular expressions.

Can some one assist me, or toss me in the right direction to solving this problem.

Answer 1

You can escape the brackets with a backslash so they are treated as regular characters. On that base, you could use the following regex to match all square brackets containing only digits:

\[[:digit:]*\]

When leaving the Replace with box empty, a search/replace run should remove all footnote marks in your example.

Since only the opening bracket is a special character for LO Calc, the following should work, too:

\[[:digit:]*]
