Regex("(");

[Mark Johnson]

Regex("@("); brings an error (missing ")").

How do you serarch for a ( with Regex ?

Mark, try putting the ( in square brackets - e.g.
Regex r = new Regex("@[(]");

Bad idea. Character sets are usually slower (more complex) than plain
characters.
Simply use escapes: Regex(@"\(");
That's it.
BTW: That works for all the special charaters like *+.\ and so on.

True, although the original regex had a @ in the quotes so (if this was
intentional) this should be:

Regex(@"@\(");

Obviously the first @ is to tell C# to use a literal string and not to treat
the \ as a C# string escape code.

Regex r = new Regex("@[(]");

did not work, but
Regex r = new Regex("[(]");

did.

Thank You.
