Help on Regular Expression

[Hayato Iriumi]

Hi,
I didn't know which newsgroup to post, so I'm posting here hoping to get
a help on Regular Expression.
Here is what I want to do.

I want to find Matches using Regex for the following cases. String look like
the following.
MyObject.ExecuteWhatever(parama, paramB, paramC...)

Or

MyObject.ExecuteWhatever(Parama, _
ParamB, _
ParamC, _
......
ParamR)

So I want to get the string from .Execute... to the end of parenthesis. I
can't assume how many parameters I have because it is param array. I tried
to come up with pattern for this, but couldn't. Can someone please give me
a hand on this?

Yes, I'm aware of that site. At this point, getting onto a site doesn't
really help me...
