title: PowerShell Replace with Wildcard
body: <p>I've done a little digging in several areas and have been bashing my head on my desk over this for a couple of hours and am starting to think that I'm over-thinking it. Here's hoping that it's a really simple answer. </p>
  
  <p>Ultimately, all I need to do is replace "(*)" in a string with "" but I can't figure out how to do this. I've read a bunch of stuff about regex and it's just not making sense. </p>
  
  <p>Example of what I want to do</p>
  
  <pre><code>#create a test string
  $string = "test 001 (testing 123)"
  #replace everything in () with ""
  $string.Replace("(*)","")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>result: $string equals "test 001 "</p>
  
  <p>I suspect this is child's play to someone out there so I'm hoping someone comes across this and is able to answer it really quick. Thanks in advance. </p>
