Java regular expression to separate phone number and text in brackets

Question

I would like a regex for Java that can take this line

[phone] (East Coast)

And create two groups

• [phone]
• East Coast.

I'm having difficulty getting out of parentheses.

Answer 1

Must be:

^(.*)\((.*)\)$

In this case, there is no special format - it will accept numbers or letters anywhere. The regular expression reads:

^- Start of line
(.*)- some letters (captured group)
\(- literal (
(.*)- more letters (captured group)
\)- literal )
$- end of line

Answer 2

/^(\+\d{1} \d+) \(((?:\w| |-)+)\)$/i
