Answer 1

Use a regex like: ([\w\s\d]+)

and replacement like: $1

The important point here is to create a matching group for your text by surrounding it in brackets i.e. ([\w\s\d]+) which matches one or more:

• \w word chars
• \s space chars
• \d numeric chars

Now in your replacement string, reference the first and only matched group with $1.
