hi,
suppose I have the following table:
text |
---|
The generalized general idea |
Hon. member |
some text |
In every cell, whenever they are present, I would like to delete the following elements: 'The' , 'general' , 'Hon.' .
So the table becomes the following:
text |
---|
generalized idea |
member |
text |
Thank you!
