I have tried by using below command but it is not working. please tell me another method for it ........
e.g. [18], (Fig. 8)
line= line.replace("[/0-9]", "")

>>> import re >>> p = re.compile(r"\[\d+\], \(Fig\. \d+\)") >>> line = "matched: [11], (Fig. 8) unmatched: [1], Fig. 9, matched: [1234], (Fig. 17), unmatched: [7], (Fig: 33)" >>> re.sub(p, "", line) 'matched: unmatched: [1], Fig. 9, matched: , unmatched: [7], (Fig: 33)'if it should be only Fig. 8, replace second \d+ with 8

Your code is removing the string "[/0-9]". Per your example, that should never be in the source string.
It looks like you're trying to write a regular expression, which is what zivoni demonstrated. For testing, I like regexpal (http://www.regexpal.com/), since regular expressions can quickly get complicated.
