Regex nested parenthesis in python

Question

I have something like this:

Othername California (2000) (T) (S) (ok) {state (#2.1)}

Is there a regex code to obtain:

Other         


        

Answer 1

Despite what I have said in the comments. I've found a way around:

(?(?=\([^()\w]*[\w.]+[^()\w]*\))\([^()\w]*([\w.]+)[^()\w]*\)|.)(?=[^{]*\})|(?

Explanation:

(?                                  # If
(?=\([^()\w]*[\w.]+[^()\w]*\))      # There is (anything except [()\w] zero or more times, followed by [\w.] one or more times, followed by anything except [()\w] zero or more times)
\([^()\w]*([\w.]+)[^()\w]*\)        # Then match it, and put [\w.] in a group
|                                   # else
.                                   # advance with one character
)                                   # End if
(?=[^{]*\})                         # Look ahead if there is anything except { zero or more times followed by }

|                                   # Or
(?
