Ive been working the whole day to get a regex that can pick out a string between two smileys. Starting with happy smiley and ending with sad.

The string can look like this from the start:

:)2017-11-0707:10:03.4479|1225|INFO|AppLogic.AppLogic.Init|Init()|App|1|:(:)2017-11-0707:10:03.4479|12

And I want the result to be:

:)2017-11-0707:10:03.4479|1225|INFO|AppLogic.AppLogic.Init|Init()|App|1|:(

Help would be appreciated.

you need to add a \ in front of the ( or ) bracket for it to work.

You can use the following regex: [:\])*_)[:\(]
