trying to capture everything before first occurence of ( in
- name (temp)
- name alt (temp1) (temp2)
this is not working in DO
RegExS(name, "^([^\(]*)", "\1");
but does work at
RegExr: Learn, Build, & Test RegEx
regex101: build, test, and debug regex
etc...

Well,
I have this working.
I'll have to think more about your syntax.
This doesn't mean I think you are wrong.

Your regex is fine. It doesn't seem to work because RegExS replaces the capture group with itself, see:
RegExS(name, "^([^\(]*)", "ABC")
