Help with Grep syntax

[mrcmrc]

Hi all, I would need help writing a Grep syntax to remove all square brackets and the numbers in them from a text. Basically, I have texts to which I would like to remove the numerical references in the notes. The numbers can be units, tens or hundreds.

Example:

Other conventions introduced by Doyle include the arch-criminal who is too clever for the official police to defeat, like Holmes's adversary Professor Moriarty, and the use of forensic science to solve cases.[1]

The Sherlock Holmes stories established crime fiction as a respectable genre popular with readers of all backgrounds, and Doyle's success inspired many contemporary detective stories.[174] Holmes influenced the creation of other "eccentric gentleman detective" characters, like Agatha Christie's fictional detective Hercule Poirot, introduced in 1920.[175]

Thanks!

- Marco.
