eliminating text with sed?
 

Hello,

I have a document and I am trying to remove the square brackets and everything between square brackets. I think I should be able to do this with sed but I can't seem to figure it out...

using Linux bash



the text looks like this:

effective connectivity structural equation modeling [McIntosh et al., 1994] and
dynamic causal modeling [Friston et al., 2003] have




and I would like to remove the [ ] and everything in between to give:

effective connectivity structural equation modeling and dynamic causal modeling have





Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Show us what you've tried and what happened. Sed is designed to do things just like that - metea-characters can need some care though.

Here you go:
