Allow to remove characters

[megaroeny]

Summary

I am trying to remove these characters - (Primary) from the Find field, by not adding anything in the Replace field

Outcome

What ends up happening is the plugin wants to replace it with ()

Expectation

I'd like for it to replace it with no characters, essentially deleting them.

See my screenshot for reference:

Thanks!

Since () are regular expression characters, you'll have to escape them with \ e.g. \(Primary\). Right now the regex is interpreting those as a capture group.

(So maybe the UI of the plugin should make it clear that the find/replace fields use regex, or allow people to toggle it on/off.)

Ohhhhh! Yeah I didn't realize that. It's also not mentioned anywhere on the plugin description @LukeFinch.

BTW - I just noticed the link on your ReadMe is incorrect. 😉
