Here's your regex:
--- PHP Code ---
<PRE>
<?
$myStr = "foo (bar (baaz) quux( fred woody) wang)";
if (ereg ("^[^(]*\((.+)\)[^)]*$", $myStr, $regs)) {
print ("Matched!<HR>");
print_r ($regs);
} else {
print ("No match... sorry!");
}
?>
</PRE>
--- End of PHP Code ---
So the expr to use: ^[^(]*\((.+)\)[^)]*$
