Hi folks,

This seems like a really easy problem, but I haven't been able to resolve
it. I want to remove parentheticals such as "(pbk.)" and "(e-book)" from 020
fields in a set of records. I know it can be done with Find/Replace and a
regular expression, but I can't figure out the syntax. I'm pretty novice
with regular expressions; I really only "create" them when I can figure out
how to backwards-engineer an existing one and tweak it slightly. In this
case I'm coming up empty. Does anyone have a useful expression handy?

Thanks,

Michael
