How do I extract text that lies between parentheses (round brackets)?

I have a string User name (sales) and I want to extract the text between the brackets, how would I do this?

Answer 1

I'm finding that regular expressions are extremely useful but very difficult to write. So, I did some research and found this tool that makes writing them so easy.

Don't shy away from them because the syntax is difficult to figure out. They can be so powerful.
