I made an oops before I posted!

$testString is supposed to be the local $string! A leftover from when I was just trying to get it to work at all haha! Which gives us more room to work with since you know that we can do whatever we want as long as the number of parentheses are counted!

And I don't really want to use too much regex (not much understanding of regex) if I can avoid it. (Why on earth did I try making a simple line parser? :P )

As a note, samar pointed me to what I think I'll need... but eventually the concept will have to be expanded eventually to fit my needs...
