Replace characters only in headings

Question

I have several files (see the Input section), what I need it to strip [[ ]] with REGEX, but the problem is that only for:

- # headings
- >quotes

All other brackets should be preserved. I cannot make it thru... I'm using the sublime reader. If anybody have some ideas I will really appreciate it! Thanks

Answer 1

In sublime text editor you can use PCRE flavor of regex. Following should work for you.

Search regex:

(?:^[#>]|(?!^)\G).*?\K(?:\[\[|]])

Replace with an empty string.

RegEx Demo

RegEx Details:

• (?:: Start non-capture group
  • ^[#>]: Match # or > at the start
  • |: OR
  • (?!^)\G: Restart matching from end of the previous match
• ): End non-capture group
• .*?: Match 0 or more of any character (lazy)
• \K: Reset match info
• (?:\[\[|]]): Match [[ or ]]
