pcre functions help

Hello all, I am playing with the prce functions... Just for examples sake I want to parse a page (string) and the date is in brackets. ie $page = "adsfasdfadsfadsf (10/10/01 4:00:00PM) adsfadsf"; now if i use: if (preg_match('/\(.+\)/i',$page,$matches)) { $thedate = $matches[0]; } $thedate will return (10/10/01 4:00:00PM) when all I really want is whats BETWEEN the brackets, ie 10/10/01 4:00:00PM is there a "better" way to match, so that my "matching" criteria is excluded? thank you, Sean
