Note for CT company name pre-processing: -use regex filter to remove parentheticals and asterisks marking updated revisions {eg Sodexo (Updated Notice)*}

How would we use this API for this task? Is it to remove things like "Updated Notice" by finding the company name in a string, or would we use CorporateGroupings to find constituent companies, or something else?
