Removing Last Text Parentheses Using jQuery From a String

I am trying to remove the text from the last parentheses within a string using jQuery. I am able to remove the parentheses from the string but the code removes every parentheses and I need the last one to be removed only. For example, I have the following string "This is a (test) string (where) last parentheses (needs) to be (removed) "

I wrote the code below to remove the parentheses and text within the parentheses.

$('p').text(function(_, text) {
    return text.replace(/\(.*?\)/g, '');
});

The code I tried removed all the parentheses from within the string, I need to remove the last parentheses from within the string.

Solution

  • Can you try this;

    var message = 'This is a (test) string (where) last parentheses (needs) to be (removed)';

message= message.replace(/\(([^()]*)\)$/,"$1");

console.log(message);
