Get text between two rounded brackets

How can I retrieve the word my from between the two rounded brackets in the following sentence using a regex in JavaScript?

"This is (my) simple text"

console.log(
  "This is (my) simple text".match(/\(([^)]+)\)/)[1]
);

\( being opening brace, ( — start of subexpression, [^)]+ — anything but closing parenthesis one or more times (you may want to replace + with *), ) — end of subexpression, \) — closing brace. The match() returns an array ["(my)","my"] from which the second element is extracted.

var txt = "This is (my) simple text";
re = /\((.*)\)/;
console.log(txt.match(re)[1]);
