If you just need to remove what comes after the first occurrence of the bracket and display what is remaining, then you could basically loop the input into strstr(), like this:

$line = 'Águila (El Salvador)';
$out = strstr($line, '(', TRUE) . '(';
print $out; # Águila (

See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php
Example:

<?php

$fp = function($file) {

    $out   = '';
    $lines = file($file);

    foreach($lines as $line)
        $out .= strstr($line, '(', TRUE) . '(' . PHP_EOL;

    return $out;
};

$output = $fp('./input.txt');
print $output;

Or switch to fopen if the input is a big file.

You might want to use Notepad++ instead of Notepad. It's better, supports regular expressions, and is free. Your search term as a regex is

\(.*$

and your replacement text is blank. In brief "\(" matches a left parenthesis, ".*" matches any length string and "$" matches the end of line. In toto the string matches everything from the first "(" to the end of the line.

Wait, was it about the editor?! O_O
I thought it was about PHP, sorry!

It was tagged notepad so I assume, editor.

Yes, I noticed that only after your answer. Usually Stefan writes about PHP, so I went in automatic. My bad.
