System.out.print(name.replace("(Seq.Scan)",""));

There is no reason to use regular expressions for something so simple. Also, you could make the replace function from scratch, but why bother when someone has already included that functionality into the String class?

Hi,

I'm trying to remove part of a file name.
Current file name is : "Job(Seq.Scan) 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif"
I'd like to remove the (Seq.Scan) part.

using the following macro I end up with: Job() 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif

name = "Job(Seq.Scan) 2 02_024_z0_ch01.tif";
string=replace(name,"(Seq.Scan)","");
print(name);

Can anyone help getting rid of the brackets please?

thanks

Adam
