title: Regex - Match first occurrence within string, do not return anything before it
body: <p>I'm doing a search and replace in Notepad++ and am looking for a regex that will literally give me the first <code>(</code> in a given string, so I can replace it.</p>
  
  <p>I am not interested in any preceding or succeeding characters, literally just the first <code>(</code>.</p>
  
  <p>An example string is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"starLan(11), -- Deprecated via RFC3635 ethernetCsmacd (6) should be used instead
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to find the first <code>(</code> (near <code>starLan(11)</code> in this case) so I can replace that character with something else.</p>
  
  <p>It should not match any other <code>(</code> in the same line, so in this case it should not match the second <code>(</code> near <code>(6)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>All of the examples I've come across seem to be returning everything up to and including the given character, which is not what I'm after in this case.</p>
