I am trying to remove parentheses from a string value in this case this one:
(40.703707008, -73.943257966)
I can't seem to find a post with code that works; I know that this is a very simple task, but I've seen the following links but they either kill all my punctuation or don't seem to work. Below is the codes I've tried. Appreciate the help:

Remove parentheses and text within from strings in R
x = ("(40.703707008, -73.943257966)")
gsub("\\s*\\([^\\)]+\\)","",x)
gsub("\\D", "", x)
gsub("log\\(", "", x)

Using the replace() Function to Remove Parentheses from String in Python. In Python, we use the replace() function to replace some portion of a string with another string. We can use this function to remove parentheses from string in Python by replacing their occurrences with an empty character.
Round brackets (also known as "parenthesis") are used primarily when calling a function in R. Every function must be called using the round brackets. Some functions need additional information that must be provided to them inside the round brackets. This additional information is called the arguments of a function.
These are metacharacters that either needs to be escaped (with \\) or we can place it in a square bracket to read it as character.
gsub("[()]", "", x)
#[1] "40.703707008, -73.943257966"
