I can't find a way to solve my "problem":

Example:  
Artist - Title (radio edit)

I want to find a way to delete everything after "title". So the text inbetween the brackets should be deleted.

What is the best way to do this?

Try this:

Regular expression:  
(.+?)\s+([^(]+)$  
replace:  
$1

It's almost perfect!  
When I do that, I get this:  
Artist - Title (  
The first bracket doesn't delete.
