My regex for displaying everthing after “(” :
echo "apples (orange) (plum)" | sed -re 's/^.+\(//'
Output : plum)
Expected output :orange) (plum)
How can I catch the first occuring character instead of the last ?
. matches any character, therefore sed watches the last bracket in the line.
Therefore
.mathes(and^[^(]+\(mathesapples (orange) (.So you need to use
[^(]*to not match any(at all as you suggest.
