Target string:

Answer 1

If you just need to remove everything after the "(", try this. Does nothing if no parentheses.

StringUtils.substringBefore(str, "(");

If there may be content after the end parentheses, try this.

String toRemove = StringUtils.substringBetween(str, "(", ")");
String result = StringUtils.remove(str, "(" + toRemove + ")"); 

To remove end spaces, use str.trim()

Apache StringUtils functions are null-, empty-, and no match- safe
