I tried \d{4} or (/ *\([^)]*\) */g, "") or ^[12][0-9]{3}$ - don't work. HElp!

Answer 1

If you only need to remove the date that look like "2009-" or "(2009-)", as I expect your output is what you need to keep, then do :

(with 'string' your content)

JS:

var newString= string.replace(/\(?\d{4}-\)?/g, '');

PHP:

$newString= preg_replace('/\(?\d{4}-\)?/g', '', $string);

Hope that helps.
