NAME

       remove_brackets - remove delimiters from text

SYNOPSIS

       remove_brackets delimiter1 delimiter2

DESCRIPTION

       remove_brackets  is a filter that removes the specified delimiters from
       the beginning/end of the text sent through it. It reads text from stdin
       and  writes  the  result  to  stdout.  The  delimiters can be arbitrary
       characters, but things like {  },  (  ),  etc.  are  most  common.  The
       delimiters are removed only if both of them match.

       Please  note  that  remove_brackets  is  intended mainly to be run from
       XView’s text menu. It is used in the default text_extras_menu.
