Try this:

Dim pos1 As Long, pos2 As Long, i As Long
Dim file As String, line As String
 
    file = vbNullString
    
        Open "c:\test.txt" For Input As #1
            Do While Not EOF(1)
                Line Input #1, line
                    i = i + 1
                    pos1 = InStr(1, line, "(")
                    pos2 = InStr(1, line, ")")
                    
                        If pos1 > 0 And pos2 > 0 Then
                            line = Left(line, pos1 - 1) & "(" & "replacement" & ")" & Right(line, Len(line) - pos2)
                        End If
                        
                            If i = 1 Then
                                file = line
                            Else
                                file = file & vbCrLf & line
                            End If
            Loop
        Close #1
        
            Open "c:\test.txt" For Output As #1
                Print #1, file
            Close #1
