@Shriharsha_H_N,

Use string remove operation as like this,

```auto
strInput.Remove(strInput.LastIndexOf("["), 1)

```

Hi  
the expression is  
system.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(str\_input,“[[\d]+]”,System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match(str\_input,“\w[\d]+\w\w”).ToString).ToString

where str\_input is the string varaible holding the string input  
and it worked

here you go with a xaml
