how to search for [] in find and replace

[COGordonW]

I just used a script that added a bunch of []. I am attempting to remove them with find and replace. However, find and replace doesn't seem to want to find brackets. What do I need to do to let it see them?

Doesn't \[\] work?

If you're in the Text tab of Find/Change, either character should work. However, if you're in the GREP tab, then you'll need to precede them with a backslash (e.g. "\[" or "\]").

Also make sure to clear any Find Format settings that are not applicable,
