| Hello!
I would like to remove several \textit{...} in a LaTeX-document but want
to keep what's in the brackets every time.
Thanks for help,
D.Stender (Germany)

search for: "\textit", replace with ""?
(OffT: sed -e 's/\textit//g' or somesuch, or any editor)
I can't think of a situation where \textit can/should be used and
extra {} would be harmful.

{ while ( match($0, target) ) {
replacement = substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)
gsub(/.*{|}/, "", replacement)
sub( target, replacement )
}
print
