Hello,



I'd like to remove the individual pairs of square brackets along with 
their content - plus the space directly behind it - from address strings
 such as this:


  [Swidsinski, Alexander; Loening-Baucke, Vera; Lochs, Herbert] Charite 
Humboldt Univ, Innere Klin, D-10098 Berlin, Germany; [Hale, Laura P.] 
Duke Univ, Med Ctr, Dept Pathol, Durham, NC 27710 USA



 I'd like get the following result:



  Charite Humboldt Univ, Innere Klin, D-10098 Berlin, Germany; Duke Univ, Med Ctr, Dept Pathol, Durham, NC 27710 USA



I tried


  address = gsub("(.*)[(.*)]", "\\2", address)



But this deletes everything from the first opening bracket to the last closing bracket and leaves only the very last address:


  Duke Univ, Med Ctr, Dept Pathol, Durham, NC 27710 USA



How can I remove only the individual pairs of square brackets along with their content?



Thank you very much in advance!
