how to extract words out of a variable 1

[nm9204]

hope you can help!!

I am running a task from the tec console and want to create a bash script using one of the Variables $msg,

I have tested it by echoing $msg to see what it gives me!
which was! = The Process IEXPLORE (pid 2072.000) is using too much CPU time.

What i would like to do in a script is extract words out of this variable, like IEXPLORE and (pid 2072.000).

I have tried to use various cmds to extract these, but having no luck.

can someone please advise
thanks

Nigel
