c# - How to remove text in brackets using a regular expression

Question

I'm looking for a regular expression which will perform the following:

INPUT: User Name ([email protected])
OUTPUT: User Name

What would be the best way to achieve this? Using regular expression to extract the text within the brackets and replacing this and any )( characters?

Answer 1

This should do the job:

var input = "User Name ([email protected])";
var output = Regex.Replace(input, @" ?(.*?)", string.Empty);

Note the escaping of the ( and ) chars so that they aren't recognised as group markers.
