Well, you could try one of the following regexps: s/\[sftest\]\s+//; This will remove the first '[sftest]' in the subject (even if not at the start of the subject line) s/^\s*(Re:\s?)?\s*\[sftest\]\s+/$1/; This will remove '[sftest]' following a 'Re:' followed by any number of whitespaces at the beginning of a string...
