Hi, Dave.<br />
<br />
I'm a little confused. &nbsp;If the solution worked, then why are you closing the question by accepting your comment and not giving any points?

I intended to award all points to BlueDevilFan but made a mistake.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am looking for a way to search through an entire folder of emails and strip out a string of characters inserted from another application. I have found a couple third party options but they do not allow wildcards.<br />
<br />
Example of string I'm trying to strip out of 2000+ emails:<br />
(JXTTTTTID: [38521])<br />
<br />
The second part starting with the 3 is unique to each email so that's why I need a wildcare like:<br />
Find: (JXTTTTTID: [3*])<br />
Replace With: &lt;blank&gt;<br />
<br />
I've had no luck. Maybe this needs to be scripted somehow.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
Dave<br />
