Hello,

I have a string which looks as follows:
"asdksdjfssdf@sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf.com (John Smith)"

How to create a substring with only the part which is between (), i.e.,
the name?

Thanks,

Miguel

There are a couple of ways:

1. Use a Regular Expression
2. Split the string on '(' and remove the ')' from the resulting string
3. Find the position of '(' and ')' with Regex or string search and
substring using these two values to get start and end.
