I have a RegEx question. I have a Composer field in the format of _Name (1234 - 5678)_. What I need is a ReegEx, or something similar, to edit the field to just _Name_, (deleting the (...).

I use regex in .NET but for some reason I cannot develop this string.

You could try:  
`$regexp('Name (1234 - 5678)','\s*\(.*',)`  
or  
`$regexp(%composer%,'\s*\(.*',)`

Thanks ohrenkino.

That is a lot simpler than the command I was coming up with.
