Sed command to replace with pattern except for text and closing parentheses
Can someone help me with a sed command:
There will be multiple occurences in a file that look like this:
MyFunction(12c34r5)
and I need to replace that with just the 12c34r5 for every occurrence. The text between the parentheses will be different on each occurrence, so I can't search for that. But the MyFunction text will always be the same, and it will always have an opening and closing parentheses around the text. Having trouble figuring out the sed command that uses the pattern in the replacement "Except for" part of the pattern?
