So I have this subtitle file containing text inside paranthesis. Its a sub for people with hearing problems but I wanna remove all these paranthesis and the words inside them. Is there a way to do this with notepad, word, notepad2 etc etc?

Notepad++ has wildcard functionality, so I think you could use search/replace with .(). to remove the parenthesis and the contents. Obviously make a backup first in case I'm way off base Very Happy

If you want a program, use Notepad ++ as sabin said.
