Help with special filter

I'm trying to filter OUT any subject and/or filename with any 1, 2 or 3 numbers enclosed in paranthesis. IE:
this (1).txt
that (123).htm
another(01).jpg
I can't figure out what it's supposed to look like.
I've tried both file and subject filters of
"("(0-9){2}")"\.*
"("(0-9)")"\.*
"("(0-9)(0-9)")"\.*
but the files still get thru.
Also, is there a limit to the number of filter "lines" you can have (ie: MOVIES has 100+ lines...what's the max limit?)
