I have many PHP Files where I need to add on end "()" to every constant beginning with "L::" which don't have on end "(". It should by applied to all *.php including subfolders) :

L::WHAT_EVER
<?=L::WHAT_EVER?>

should become:

L::WHAT_EVER()
<?=L::WHAT_EVER()?>

but not touch any of them:

L::WHAT_EVER()
L::WHAT_EVER('aaa')
L::WHAT_EVER($a, $b)

Is there any sed regex command that I could apply to reach this Goal?

shell sed regular-expression

It's easier with perl:

perl -pi -e 's/bL::w++K(?!()/()/g' ./*.php

• 
  bL::: L:: following a word boundary (to avoid replacing NIL::Foo ones).


• 
  w: any word character (ASCII letters, numbers or underscore)


• 
  ++: one or more (of the ws), but don't backtrack


• 
  K: set the start of the matched portion (so just after that word)


• 
  (?!...): negative look ahead assertion. So here only matches if what follows is not a (.
