Hi Laurent, thank you for your help. I wish to delete everything between the two starting brackets and the two ending brackets including these brackests, that is every string with this pattern
{[%tqu "What is
White's next move?","","",g3,"",0,b6,"misses the win:",0]}
should be deleted. I have modified the code like Eily suggested and I have added the /s modifier to catch the line breaks, but it still doesn't work, the outputfile is the same as the inputfile.
My real data file is far bigger than the second example file, but I think if the code works with this inputfile it will work with the
original file too.
