How do I extract the “program name” from a string. The string will look like this :

% O0033(SUB RAD MSD 50R III) G91G1X-6.4Z-2.F500 G3I6.4Z-8. G3I6.4
G3R3.2X6.4F500 G91G0Z5. G91G1X-10.4 G3I10.4 G3R5.2X10.4 G90G0Z2.
M99 %

The program name is (SUB RAD MSD 50R III). Storing the result in another string is fine. I’m learning powershell so any explaination of your answers will be appreciated.

    The following regex extract anything between the parenthesis:

    PS> $prog = [regex]::match($s,'\(([^\)]+)\)').Groups[1].Value
PS> $prog
SUB RAD MSD 50R III

    Explanation (created with RegexBuddy)

    Match the character '(' literally «\(»
Match the regular expression below and capture its match into backreference number 1 «([^\)]+)»
   Match any character that is NOT a ) character «[^\)]+»
      Between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed (greedy) «+»
Match the character ')' literally «\)»
