Regular expression: match pattern at the end only - Pavel_47 - Nov-27-2019
Hello,
Here are two strings:
Control Engineering – MATLAB Exercises (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing)
Control Engineering – (AAAA) MATLAB Exercises (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing)
1st string has one part in parentheses (at the end), 2nd string has two parts in parentheses: in the middle and at the end.
How math only trailing part in 2nd string using regex?
The pattern ' \(.+\)' matches like this:
Control Engineering – (AAAA) MATLAB Exercises (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing)
Thanks.

Try this perhaps
r"\([^()]*\)$"

Works!
Thanks.
^() means doesn't include fragments that contain both symbols: '(' and ')', isn't it ?

[^()] means any character different from ( and )
