Hi monks,
I am new to Reg Exp. I have to find out the name of the product and the Operating system it supports.

$test="Server list (Win2K/Win2003/XP) 6.26.5.1.5";
$test1="Server list 6.26.5.1.5";

[download]
I have to split $test as the part1(server list), part2( Win2k..) and part3 (6.26...). If you take the second string there is know part2.I am using the following RE. It doesn't return any value for string $test1.
$test =~/(.*)(\(.+\))(.*)/);
my $prod_name=$1;
my $platform=$2;
my $version=$3;

Can you please help me to get a reg exp which give part1,part2(if exists) and part3?.
Thanks,
