Need help with string manipulating

[ALSLG]

Hi,

I need your help with string manipulation. Here is what I need to do:

Before the manipulation I have this:

$var1 = "The brown fox jumps over the fence. (It jumps? Yes, it jumps)" 

After I want this:

$var1 = "The brown fox jumps over the fence"
$var2 = "It jumps! Yes, it jumps" 

I guess I'll need regexp to do that, but I don't know much of regexp.

Thanks,

MD

This can be tightened up, but I think the code will explain more than a couple paragraphs of prose. [img]images/smilies/wink.gif[/img]

$start = strpos($var1,"(" ) + 1;
$end = strpos($var1," )" );
$var2 = substr($var1,$start,($end - $start));
$start = $start -1;
$var1 = substr($var1,0,$start); 

I've about had it with this editor. It should be ")" not " )".
OK. That didn't work... There shouldn't be a space in front of the ")" that is enclosed in double quotes.
