how to remove string after specific character in list

I have a list as given below.

List<string> testing = new List<string>();
            testing.Add("1(1)(r)");
            testing.Add("2(4)");
            testing.Add("3(w)");
            testing.Add("33(4)");
            testing.Add("5(4)");
            testing.Add("6(6)");

Now my problem is that i want to remove full string on or after "(" my list should be something like as given below.

1
2
3
33
5
6

How can i solve this problem with lambda expression or is ther any other way to remove string after some specific character. Thanks in advance
