你需要第一个和最后一个括号。可以这样说:

str.indexOf (' (');-它会给你第一次发生

str.lastIndexOf (') ');-最后一个

所以你需要一个字符串，

String searchedString = str.substring(str1.indexOf('('),str1.lastIndexOf(')');

[^\(]*(\(.*\))[^\)]*

[^\(]*匹配字符串开头不是右括号的所有内容，(\(.*\))捕获括在括号中的所需子字符串，[^\)]*匹配字符串末尾不是右括号的所有内容。注意，这个表达式不会试图匹配括号;一个简单的解析器(参见dehmann的回答)将更适合于此。

虽然很多答案都以某种形式提到了这一点，比如正则表达式不支持递归匹配等等，但主要原因在于计算理论的根源。

形式为{a^nb^n | n>=0}的语言是非正则的。Regex只能匹配构成常规语言集一部分的东西。

答案取决于您是需要匹配括号的匹配集，还是只需要匹配输入文本中的第一个开始到最后一个结束的括号。

如果您需要匹配匹配的嵌套括号，那么您需要的不仅仅是正则表达式。-见@dehmann

如果只是先开后关，再见@扎克

决定你想要发生什么:

abc ( 123 ( foobar ) def ) xyz ) ghij

您需要决定在这种情况下您的代码需要匹配什么。

"""
Here is a simple python program showing how to use regular
expressions to write a paren-matching recursive parser.

This parser recognises items enclosed by parens, brackets,
braces and <> symbols, but is adaptable to any set of
open/close patterns.  This is where the re package greatly
assists in parsing.

import re


# The pattern below recognises a sequence consisting of:
#    1. Any characters not in the set of open/close strings.
#    2. One of the open/close strings.
#    3. The remainder of the string.
# 
# There is no reason the opening pattern can't be the
# same as the closing pattern, so quoted strings can
# be included.  However quotes are not ignored inside
# quotes.  More logic is needed for that....

    ( .* )

# The keys to the dictionary below are the opening strings,

        if m.group(1) != "":
            lst.append(m.group(1))
