Removing the part of file name that is between ( )

Postby mamaijee » Mon Mar 21, 2016 4:09 pm

If a filename has some words in brackets and I want to remove whatever is in the brackets and including the brackets how do I specify that

eg
Norah Camps - (Childrens, illustrated) The Bear who followed me (AGE 4-7).PDF

Whatever in the filename is in brackets is to be removed along with the brackets to show as

Norah Camps - The bear who followed me.PDF

How can I use BRU to do this?

Many thanks
