Remove Numbers in Brackets

I have thousands of files in the following format:

Filename 1 (A101 8.2 S3)
Filename 2 (A5 9 R14B)
Filename 3 (A45 27 M24)

How would I rename them to:

Filename 1 (S3)
Filename 2 (R14B)
Filename 3 (M24)

I know RegEx is the answer, just can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Re: Remove Numbers in Brackets

The following regular expression should do the job...

Expression: \(.*?\b([\w\d]+)\)
Replace: ($1)

Sample input:

Filename 1 (A101 8.2 S3)
Filename 2 (A5 9 R14B)
Filename 3 (A45 27 M24)
Filename 5 (TEST)

Output:

Filename 1 (S3)
Filename 2 (R14B)
Filename 3 (M24)
Filename 5 (TEST)

Fantastic den4b! On using it, I realize the output would look better without the brackets.

How would I return just the number?

Try to adjust the "Replace:" statement.

Just play around, it's easy:)

Sorry, Stefan. Haven't been back for a while. Worked out famously. Also, I found the Regular Expression tool on the website, which is a great help.
