RegExp in PHP. Get text between first level parentheses
I have two type of strings in one text:
a(bc)de(fg)h
a(bcd(ef)g)h
I need to get text between first level parentheses. In my example this is:
bc
fg
bcd(ef)g
I tried to use next regular expression /\((.+)\)/ with Ungreedy (U) flag:
bc
fg
bcd(ef
And without it:
bc)de(fg
bcd(ef)g
Both variants don't do what I need. Maybe someone know how solve my issue?
Solution
This question pretty much has the answer, but the implementations are a little ambiguous. You can use the logic in the accepted answer without the ~s to get this regex:
\(((?:\[^\(\)\]++|(?R))*)\)
