Meera · Accepted Answer

You can use either of the below regular expressions to extract the substring present between two paranthesis

```js
let str = "cost of two mangoes is ($10)";

let regExp1 = /$([^)]+)$/;
console.log(regExp1.exec(str)[1]); // [1] contains the value between the parenthesis.

let regExp2 = /$(.*)$/;
console.log(str.match(regExp2).pop());

```
