parsing (x,y,z)

[BTCMan]

Hi people,

I need to extract some data from the pattern pattern:
(xxx,yyy,zzzz)

The output should be handled like this:
var1 = xxx;
var2 = yyy;
var3 = zzz;

Also, the digits may vary like: (xxx) OR (xxx,yyy)

I want to avoid using String split method or to remove the "(" and the ")" delimiters from the original string. All I really want is to retrieve the values I need from the entire string. Thanks in advance!

Why would you want to avoid the obvious solution?

Cheers,
Dian

Whats wrong with String.split() ?

Ok with the split method but before call it we need to remove undesired "(" and ")". I would like to see a single regular expression that retrieves the desired data.

Thanx

String[] parts = myString.replaceAll("()", "").split(",");

or something like that ...
