Your stated goals and your sample input and output do not match:
Why is:
changed at all? There is no closing ")" to match the opening "(".
Why isn't:
changed to:
The 1st and 2nd asterisks (and the empty string between them) should be removed, the 3rd and 4th asterisks (and the empty string between them) should be removed, and the 5th and 6th asterisks (and the empty string between them) should be removed; but not the "WORLD".
True - The number of opening characters are not matching the closing characters. This is not consistent across all records and not all records have this issue. I couldn't think of a pattern or otherwise a simple piece of code to handle this. Hence, I was trying to pick up others brains in achieving this.
Do provide your thoughts and ideas to achieve this.

Hi,
One of our application is producing log files. But if we open the log file in vi or less or view mode, it shows all the special characters in it. The 'cat' shows correctly but it shows only last page. If I do 'cat' <file_name> | more, then again it shows special characters.

XmTextGetSubstringWcs(3X)XmTextGetSubstringWcs(3X)NAME
XmTextGetSubstringWcs - A Text function that retrieves a portion of a wide character internal text buffer
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Text.h>
int XmTextGetSubstringWcs (widget, start, num_chars, buffer_size, buffer)
Widget widget;
XmTextPosition start;
int num_chars;
int buffer_size;
wchar_t *buffer;
DESCRIPTION
XmTextGetSubstringWcs retrieves a copy of a portion of the internal text buffer of a Text widget that is stored in a wide character format.
The function copies a specified number of characters from a given start position in the internal text buffer into a buffer provided by the
application. A NULL terminator is placed at the end of the copied data. Specifies the Text widget ID. Specifies the beginning character
position from which the data will be retrieved. This is an integer number of characters from the beginning of the text buffer. The first
character position is 0. Specifies the number of wchar_t characters to be copied into the provided buffer. Specifies the size of the sup-
plied buffer as a number of wchar_t storage locations. The minimum size is num_chars + 1. Specifies the wide character buffer into which
the internal text buffer will be copied.
For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3X).
RETURN VALUE
The function was successful. The function failed because it was unable to copy the specified number of characters into the buffer pro-
vided. The buffer size may be insufficient. The contents of buffer are undefined. The requested number of characters extended beyond the
internal buffer. The function copied characters between start and the end of the widget's buffer and terminated the string with a NULL
terminator; fewer than num_chars characters were copied.
