[Solved] Help find and replace within parentheses

[Ciscokid2]

Entry for word does not work in search and replace for Open office
What I have tried is /(*/)
I would like the command to find and replace the parentheses and all within.
Thanks.

... I would like the command to find and replace the parentheses and all within.

I normally use something like:
Search for: \([^)]*\)
Replace with: whatever
Options/Regular expression: YES (checked)

Excellent! Thanks acknak.....that did the trick. And I replaced the parentheses with square brackets in your example to successfully get rid of all inside brackets too.
Well done.
Appreciate the help.
