Java Regex: replace with capturing group

Question

I have a string like this:

123456-1/1234/189928/2323 (102457921)

I want to get 102457921. How can I achieve it with regex?

I have tried:

"123456-1/1234/189928/2323 (102457921)".replaceAll("(\\.*\()(\d+)(\))","$2");

But it does not work. Any hints?

How about

"123456-1/1234/189928/2323 (102457921)".replaceAll(".*?\\((.*?)\\).*", "$1");

Answer 2

Well, you can do this:

"123456-1/1234/189928/2323 (102457921)".replaceAll(".*\((.+)\)","$1");

Answer 3

You could do it as:

"123456-1/1234/189928/2323 (102457921)".replaceAll(".*?\(([^)]+)\)","$1");

Answer 4

What about a "double" replaceAll regex simplified one

"123456-1/1234/189928/2323 (102457921)".replaceAll(".*\\(", "").replaceAll("\\).*", "");

Answer 5

You can try something like that:

var str = '123456-1/1234/189928/2323 (102457921)';
    console.log(str.replace(/[-\d\/ ]*\((\d+)\)/, "$1"));
    console.log((str.split('('))[1].slice(0, -1));
    console.log((str.split(/\(/))[1].replace(/(\d+)\)/, "$1"));
    console.log((str.split(/\(/))[1].substr(-str.length - 1, 9));
    console.log(str.substring(str.indexOf('(') + 1, str.indexOf(')')));

In other case you must be familiar with the specifics of the input data to generate a suitable regexp.
