  1. My string is like this : Name (CLOSED)
  2. My string is like this : Name (CLOSED 0FF)
  3. My string is like this : Name (CLOSED OF)
  4. My string is like this : Name (DEC'D)

I want to remove both brackets and string inside the brackets, to get only : Name

I'm using this URL http://regexr.com/ and I have written regx like this: ([()]CLOSED)

However, the last bracket is not getting selected. What am I doing wrong?

Remove parens at the end of string:

\s*\([^()]*\)$

See regex proof.
