A mob also attacked a cinema hall in Purnia screening films of [33]Marathi directors.[87] After the attack the angry mob[44] announced the start of their “non-cooperation� movement against Marathis.[65]

Find what: \[[^]]*\]
Replace with: [nothing]

[X] Regular expression

Replace All

This assumes you are using Posix regular expression syntax:

Configure | Preferences | Editor

[X] Use POSIX regular expression syntax

You may find it helpful to read TextPad's help on regular expressions, although it's rather brief. Look under
Reference Information | Regular Expressions,
Reference Information | Replacement Expressions and
How to... | Find and Replace Text | Use Regular Expressions.

There are many regular expression tutorials on the web, and you will find recommendations for some of them if you search this forum.

A standard reference for regular expressions is

Friedl, Jeffrey E F
Mastering Regular Expressions, 3rd ed
O'Reilly, 2006

But be aware that the regular expression recogniser used by TextPad is very weak compared with modern tools. So you may get frustrated if you discover a handy trick that works elsewhere but doesn't work in TextPad.
