how to remove a part which has specific char in the beginning and in the end in string?

Hello,

how can I remove a part which has specific char in the beginning and in the end in string?

for example, if I have string like this:

cat dog zebra (squirrel) fish

and I want to remove a part which has '(' in the beggining and ')' in the end in order to get:

cat dog zebra fish

(without space char twice one after the other).

str = 'cat dog zebra (squirrel) fish';
out = regexprep(str,'\s+\(.+?\)','')

out = 'cat dog zebra fish'
