Remove everything in parentheses java using regex

Question

I\'ve used the following regex to try to remove parentheses and everything within them in a string called name.

name.replaceAll(\"\\\\(.*\\\\)\"         


        

Answer 1

If you read the Javadoc for String.replaceAll(), you'll notice that it specifies that the resulting string is the return value.

More generally, Strings are immutable in Java; they never change value.
