Extract contents from a string using regex

Question

I have a big string  with this line specifically: /CIP3AdmSeparationNames [(Cyan)(Magenta)(Yellow)(Black)(PANTONE 647 C)] def I'm trying to extract ONLY the contents between Parentheses from that string with regex - but not being able to tried a lot of combinations but none of 'em worked. The string has many lines - i just need this content. I don't wanna use .Indexof or .Substring - they were giving me bugs all the time. Thanks in advance for any help !

Hi Use the following Regex to extract required data: Expression: /$(.*?)$/g Pattern: $(.*?)$ Javascript: text.match(/$(.*?)$/g); Thanks

This is the same as RegExr ;\ I'm trying a few more combinations. There's something curious - when i use this expression: Regex regex = new Regex(>> def(.*)/HDMAreaCoverage RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.Multiline); to extract text between those two words It works flawlessly. When i tried to adapt it to suit my needs RegEx returns me the entire string from the point i started searching. EX: Regex regex = new Regex5(>> ADMSeparationNames(.*)/CIP3AdmPSExtent RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.Multiline); will return me the entire string. Is there an possibility that my string got a problem?

Hi. I've saw those stackoverflow posts before - also tried a few expressions on http://regexr.com/ Bit i still can't get whats going wrong. Weird thing is that on my code i have another expression with regex with similar search parameters who WORKS. Strings are the same the only difference is in the text searched. /CIP3AdmInkColors [lots of data  numbers ]] def /CIP3AdmSeparationNames [(Cyan)(Magenta)(Yellow)(Black)(PANTONE 647 C)] def /CIP3AdmPSExtent [lots of data  numbers] def all i want is the content between parentheses on CIP3AdmSeparationNames I'm trying to get at least its entire line  then i'll split the text i need from the parentheses. But even that is failing ;\
