Regex find parameterized property

I am trying to build a regex to identify the parameterized property of VB.



Example code of a parameterized property i want to match



Public ReadOnly Property Test(v as String) As Integer
Public ReadOnly Property Test(ByVal v as String) As ReadOnlyCollection(Of Guid)


Example code of a property i want to avoid



Public ReadOnly Property Test() As Integer         
Public ReadOnly Property Test() As ReadOnlyCollection(Of Guid)


Basically if there are any parameters passed to the property i want it to match, but there are other cases with other parenthesis in the same line as the type of the property that might not have parameters.
The pattern i see is




property [0 or more empty space] [next word] [0 or more empty space] ( [0 or more empty space] Target characters OR Ignore WhiteSpace [0 or more empty space] )




This is what i have so far



Property?s+(w+)s*(([^()]*))


Sadly it does not ignore cases with the empty parenthesis.

          Change the [^()]* to [^()]+. + makes the previous selector match 1 or more times, whilst * makes it match 0 or more times. You can read more here: Difference between * and + regex



          regex101 demo



          Here's what your regex should end up as:



          Property?s+(w+)s*(([^()]+))
