Hi, Im looking for a way to print out certain sections of line based on the content. For example, I want to print out the ENV (just whats in the brackets) if the STATUS is Not Running. Also, I want to print out whats in FIRST and in PHONE.
var1 = "ENV(ABCD1234) STATUS(Running)"
var2 = "ENV(IJK1234) STATUS(Not Running)"
var3 = "PRINT NAME FIRST(ABCD) SECOND(EFGH) ADDRESS('') PHONE(12345678)"
var4 = "PRINT NAME FIRST() SECOND(WXYD) ADDRESS('') PHONE(87654321)"

What's the best way to do this? I have tried splitting and substituting but am not succeeding. Do I need to have a specific regular expression? Any ideas?
