Regular expression take correct number of brackets

\w+\(([^\)]*)?\)+

This regex will match 

abc(1,3,abs(4) 
foo(1,3,abs(4)))

I want to match only 

abc(1,3,abs(4))

Is it possible?

You can use the following regex:

^[a-z]+\((?>[^()]+|\((?<DEPTH>)|\)(?<-DEPTH>))*(?(DEPTH)(?!))\)$

It will match any string of characters from a to z in the beginning, and then a matching number of parentheses and everything inside them.
