To do most of this, best learn Regular Expressions.
For example on:
– delete everything included in brackets (xxx) including the (brackets) themselves
Find: (.+?)
Replace:
[X] Use Regular Expressions
will match first
(xxx)
and then
(brackets)
due to the ‘?’ regex parameter.

Whereas
Find: (.+)
Replace:
[X] Use Regular Expressions
will match whole
(xxx) including the (brackets)
– – –
For [ and ]
use
Find: [.+]
Replace:
[X] Use Regular Expressions
– – –
– delete everything after the first ( in everyline, including the bracket itself
Try
Find: (.+$
Replace:
[X] Use Regular Expressions
– – –
– delete double or more spaces (not tabs) and replace them with one space
Try
Find: ~~+
Replace: ~
[X] Use Regular Expressions
(instead of ‘~’ enter an blank each)

To create a macro try to utilize
– “Macro > Start”
– do the work, here the find and replace job
– “Macro > Stop”
– “Macro > Edit” –> you will see the macro code to reuse
(you may want to read the help about e.g. “eeFindSaveHistory” and remove this from the macro)
