Extract String between brackets in a file for all occurrences in Python

I have a file like:

I want to be able to search this file and extract all the data within the brackets and produce that as output like:

0000NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN0DNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN0NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN0NN00N00NN0NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
0000NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN0DNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN0NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN0NN00N00NN0NNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I tried this so far but no luck:

import re
from pathlib import Path
with open ("results.txt", "r") as myfile:
    data=myfile.readlines()
ctr=0
for i in data:
    m = re.search(r"[([A-Za-z0-9_]+)]", str(i))
    print(m)

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Answer

Try this:-

import re

with open('results.txt') as infile:
    for line in infile:
        m = re.search(r'.*?[(.*)].*', line)
        if m:
            print(m.group(1))
