How to print text between two round brackets ()

Question

I was trying to print text in between round brackets but I ended up with entire text.

Here is an what I have used.

import re

s = '₹ 24.00 (8%)'
result = re.search('((.*))', s)
print(result.group(2))

output:

₹ 24.00 (8%)

Expected output:

8%

Answer 1

This should do the trick

import re

s = '₹ 24.00 (8%)'
result = re.search('\((.*)\)', s)
print(result.group(1))
# 8%

You need to escape the brackets if they are literal.
