preg_replace question

[graziano]

Hello

I must remove from $list everything between ()

for example "test(random text)" should return only "test"

I was using
$list3 = preg_replace('@(\w+)@', '', $list3);

but it doesn't work if between () there are "-" or other special chars ..

How to solve the problem ?

I wish to remove also (a/b\c-te&%st) for example .

Thank you

Try this:

<?php
$list3 = preg_replace('/\([^\)]*\)/', '', $list3);
?>

Hi konrad,

You don't have to escape the ) character within the character class, as most meta characters lose their special meanings inside a character class.
