How do I delete until (and including) the 2nd occurrence of some character?

Question

Here's an example:

console.log("basename of"path.basename(__filename))
console.log(path.dirname(__filename))

With my cursor on path in the first line, I've tried:

dt2)

but then my cursor jumped to the next line, at __filename)), which is last character of that line. I also Googled around and tried:

dt2/)<Enter>

Nothing happened, and I have to manually cancel the highlighting of search the results.

Answer 1

If you want to delete till the second occurence:

d2t)

Which translates to:

d2t)

d    " Delete
  t  " till
 2   " second occurence of
   ) " )
