Hi,

 

You have to use  string.replace method instead of string.replaceall. Try the below code as reference:
string st='sas(hish(ra(i';
string st1=st.replace('(','');
system.debug('@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@' +st1);

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.

Yeah, if you just need to remove two characters from a string, there's no need to use replaceAll().

 

yourString = yourString.replace('(', '').replace(')', '');
