    Question How to RemoVe all text between brackets

    Hi,
    I have a database that I transferred to csv file, for some reason I have text between brackets that I don't need
    like {{Attention|date=2014-08-10}} and [[Category:Guitar]]
    all these types of text I want to remove , csv file contains 9K cells
    so , any function or formula that can help me to remove these types of text?
    Thanks
