I want to remove a string i.e. **[View Hierarchy**] from string **clientName[View Hierarchy].**

Means I want only string **clientName** and **[View Hierarchy]** should be removed from last.

Also there should not be any space or character in Main string when we remove it.

Actual output should be- **clientName**

Hi @Saurabh_Sahu,

Kindly check the example attached. It basically removes everything after the “[” character and it doesn’t matter how many characters are after that, it will remove them.
