Remove square brackets
Microsoft's SQL Server Management Studio puts square brackets [ and ] around everything scripted or dragged/dropped from the Object Explorer to the scripting window.
I want a feature to remove all square brackets.
I currently have to use SQL Management Studio search/replace to remove the brackets, and rather have the removal performed when I format the code.

Removing brackets is a good idea. SQL Prompt made good functionality when reserved are wrapped into brackets automatically.

do a search replace with regular expressions:
search: \[([a-zæøå]\w*)\]
replace: $1 -

Removing square brackets is not a good idea. Code with tables that have names - reserved words will have issues, for e.g. SELECT * FROM dbo.Group fails with an incorrect syntax.
