I think that for a regex, you have provided too few examples, usually, what you are after, what you are getting and what do you not want to get are of great help.

That being said, using your single example as a guide, something like this should work:

\\s+(.+?\\((.+?)\\))

It should put the function name and the paramater you are trying to match into 2 groups, which you can then extract at a later stage.

It will match setAbc(obj) but not setAbs() and set().
