it's removing all the parentheses i want to remove only the inner one "(8pin)" if i remove the outer one i will get error.

all the time you have this single query ?
or you may have different query ?

Nikhil_S 20-Nov-12 5:20am

same single query.

then use this : Regex.Replace("This (is (a) (test.", "[(8pin)]", "");

the loop will run for many other attributes like "<Scripts>"(as I posted on this XML)so that time it will create problem.
