Lets say I have three records:

1. Test()
2. Test ()
3. Test

Right now I am having an issue where 'Test()' is returning both 'Test' and 'Test()' when it should just return 'Test()'

My regex is as simple as: /Test()/i

It looks like it is not reading the special characters properly. How can I go about fixing this regex?

`()` are special characters in regex. You need to escape them `\(` and `\)` – ctwheels Mar 01 '18 at 20:17

Use `/Test\(\)/i`.... – Wiktor Stribiżew Mar 01 '18 at 20:18
