Well, you can do that with a regex, but it's a good degree more complicated.....
abowley@krait:~$ (echo 'Madrid(Spain(Europe)' && echo 'Madrid(Spain(Eu
+rope))' && echo 'Madrid(Spain Europe))' && echo 'a(b(c))' && echo 'a
+(b (c) d (e) f)') | perl -mstrict -wpe 'BEGIN { $brackets = qr#\([^()
+]*(?:(??{$brackets})[^()]*)*\)# }; s#([^)]+?)($brackets)([^(]+)# ( my
+ $s = $1 ) =~ tr/(/ /; ( my $e = $3 ) =~ tr/)/ /; $s . $2 . $e #ge;'
Madrid Spain(Europe)
Madrid(Spain(Europe))
Madrid(Spain Europe)
a(b(c))
a (b (c) d (e) f)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
