regex for content between and including the parenthees

Question

Can someone help me with a regex that will catch the following:

• has to be at the end of the string
• remove all characters between ( and ) including the parentheses

It's going to me done in javascript.

here's what i have so far -

var title = $(this).find('title').text().replace(/\w+\s+\(.*?\)/, "");

It seems to be catching some chars outside of the parenthees though.

This deals with matching between parens, and only at the of the string: \([^(]*\)\s*$. If the parens might be nested, you need a parser, not a regular expression.
