another question about regsub...

[Guest]

when i do:
regsub -all p1ng? $arg p0ng! out
it works..
but when i do:
regsub -all $arg )) out
i get: "couldn't compile regular expression pattern: parentheses () not balanced"

i tried ":)", ":)".. but it doesn't help.

can anybody tell me how to make it work?
