Hi Team

I have the following text in one of the file

j1738-abc-system_id(in.value1)-2838 G566-deF-system_id(in.value2)-7489

I want to remove system_id(...) combination completely The output should look like this

j1738-abc-in.value1-2838 G566-deF-in.value2-7489

Any help is appreciated Thanks

that works, but say in this case

j1738-abc-system_id(substr(in.value1))-2838 G566-deF-system_id(in.value2)-7489

i am getting

j1738-abc-substr(in.value1-2838 G566-deF-in.value2-7489

its trying to replace both the "))"
