Comment (by johnmaddock):

 As Steven says, we need to see the string that failed to match to tell you
 what's going on.  My suspicion is that the string has content ''after the
 closing ")"'' in which case regex_match ''will'' fail (remember regex
 match only succeeds if the ''whole'' of the text was matched).
