This is about the only thing I know how to do with regext. :)

on fix
  put fld 1 into tText
  put "\[.*\]" into tRegEx
  put replacetext(tText,tRegEx,empty) into fld 2
end fix


You'd probably want it to be a function though:

function removeBrackets pString
  return replacetext(pString,"\[.*\]",empty)
end removeBrackets
