Regular Expressions HELP - PERL

Hello,


Code:
$line=USING (FILE '/TEST1/FILENAME'5000)

I want to reterive the value between ' and ) which is 5000 here.

i have tried out the following expressions ...

Type 1 : $Var1=`sed -e 's/.*\' //' -e 's\).*$/' $line`;
Type 2 : $Var1=`echo $line | awk -F"\'" '{print $2}' | awk -F"\\)" '{print $1}'`;
Type 3 : $Var1=`echo $line | sed 's/.*\' //' | sed 's/\).*$//'`;
Type 4 : $Var1=`echo $line | sed 's/.*\' //' | sed 's/\)$//'`;
Type 5 : $Var1=`echo $line | sed 's/.*File //' | sed 's/Closing.*$//'`;
Type 6 : $Var1=`echo $line | sed 's/"//g' | sed 's/\)//g' | awk -F"\'" '{print $2}'`;
Type 7 : $Var1=`sed 's/.*'\(.*\)).*/\1/' $line`;

but nothing is working out, i am always getting an error saying that

Code:
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Any Suggestions will be helpful

Thanks

Rahul
