Question

I am trying to export via a javascript string values ​​within parentheses ().

example that works:

var a = "(test) (a b c)";
alert(a.match(/\([\s\S]+?\)/gi));//output: [(test),(a b c)]

But in some older browsers the “?” causes error.

So I did this:

var a = "(test) (a b c)";
alert(a.match(/\([A-Za-z0-9\-_\t\r\n\s]+\)/gi));

However this way not support foreign characters. Hence the need to use \S

I need a solution with \s\S and that do not use the ? signal.

You can match non-) characters:

/\([^)]+\)/
