How to remove text between parentheses in a string using Java

Answer 1

public class RemoveTextBetweenParentheses {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String text = "Hello (remove this) from the future (and this too)";

        // Step 1: Remove parentheses and their content (non-greedy)
        String cleaned = text.replaceAll("\\([^)]*\\)", "");

        // Step 2: Collapse multiple spaces into one
        cleaned = cleaned.replaceAll("\\s+", " ").trim();

        System.out.println("Original: " + text);
        System.out.println("Cleaned : " + cleaned);
    }
}


/*
run:

Original: Hello (remove this) from the future (and this too)
Cleaned : Hello from the future

*/
