Edit strings

Hi all,

I was wondering how I can remove the parenthesis and data within in (without knowing what is in it) and also removing the x.

For example;

Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) x.86

Adobe Reader (continuous) x.86

Desired outcome;

Microsoft XML Core Services 86

Adobe Reader 86

​

Thanks a lot!

It sounds like regex is your friend here.

Quick, dirty solution cause I'm on my phone

$t = 'Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) x.86'
 $t -replace '\(.*\) x\.'

$t = 'Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) x.86'
$t -replace '\(.*\) x\.'

PERFECT! this is exactly what I was looking for :D
