Then it might be the funny character. Also know that the sed is not updating the file, it's just printing to the screen, so if you're xpecting the file to be updated, it's not.

If it's actual, then there you have various other options:
Code:
sed "s/(.*//"
sed "s/\(.*\)(/.*\1/"
awk -F\( '{print $1}'
cut -d\( -f1

Code:
awk -F\( '{print $1}'
