RegEx Tool

Hi, How do I do a RegEx search and replace all the strings within last parenthesis set with blank?  Thank you!

 

Example:

I am so excited (How so?) -> I am so excited

I am so excited (How so?)  (Tell me more) -> I am so excited (How so?)

I am so excited (How so?)  (Tell me more)  (Is it because...) -> I am so excited (How so?) (Tell me more)

@SurferJim ,

 

 just a guess:

 

regex_replace[[stuff],"(.*)\(.*)\)(.*)",'$1(???)$3')

 

I wasn't so sure what blank means in your replacement but this should help. 

cheers,

Sorry I am a newbie and wasn't clear.  Your solution should work.  I tried a different expression using the end anchor and that worked too.  Thank you. 🙂
