Sorry - prematurely pressed enter.

Looking for assistance with the following problem:

I have a string: "ASIO(9) M-AUDIO(9) AUDIGY(9)"

I have a pattern: "\b(.+)\((\d)\)\b"

For some reason it doesn't find anything, though according to my calculations
it should find "M-AUDIO(9)"

Any ideas?

After a moment of panic i have found the solution - problem lies in a "greedy"
expression and the fix appears to be in making it not "greedy".
