How can I replace parenthesis in vim

regex, vim

Solution

Vim doesn't require escaping of brackets by default. Try:

:%s/(fig\.)//g

See:

:help magic

Edit

Added backslash escaping of dot.

Problem

In Vim I have: ``` simulación (fig.),pretexto (fig.),excusa (fig.). ``` My goal is: ``` simulación ,pretexto ,excusa . ``` I have tried with: `:%s/\(fig\.\)//g`, but it doesn't work.
