Any help would be appreciated, thanks,

I want to take the following message:

/Lemur/Track1/Volume/x[1]

and filter out the [1] so i can identify it seperately from [2] or [3] and make the following message:

/Lemur/Track1/Volume/x

WOW! THATS IT!!! Thank you so so so so much. It was giving me a HUGE headache! Thanks broc!

Do you mind explaining what you do, so I can add this function to my M4L toolbelt? namely what the brackets do? what the dashes do? what the d and the plus sign do?

Thanks for the help!

The usage of [regexp] is explained on the reference page

Also, there are many articles/tutorials available on the net. Just google for "regular expression".
