regex to find characters in a String

Question

I have a strings like 1 - Copy (2) 2 - Copy (2) 3 - Copy (2). Here I want replace string which contains Copy (2) with string demo.

1 - Copy (2) to demo
2 - Copy (2) to demo
3 - Copy (2) to demo

I tried like ^.*Copy (2).*$ but it is not working.

You may want to escape the parenthesis and capture Copy + Space: `^.*(Copy $2$).*$` — Larme, Oct 03 '17 at 20:31
`^.*Copy $2$.*$` make sure you've the multiline flag enabled to recognise `^` and `$` — kaza, Oct 03 '17 at 20:35
