Kotlin Solution

If you are removing a specific string from the end, use removeSuffix (Documentation)

var text = "one(two"
text = text.removeSuffix("(two") // "one"

If the suffix does not exist in the string, it just returns the original

var text = "one(three"
text = text.removeSuffix("(two") // "one(three"

If you want to remove after a character, use

// Each results in "one"

text = text.replaceAfter("(", "").dropLast(1) // You should check char is present before `dropLast`
// or
text = text.removeRange(text.indexOf("("), text.length)
// or
text = text.replaceRange(text.indexOf("("), text.length, "")

You can also check out removePrefix, removeRange, removeSurrounding, and replaceAfterLast which are similar
