Select text within matching ( ) bracket
Hi,
I am looking for a simple command to select text within a open bracket "(" and a matching close bracket ")" and output the within-bracket-text to a file. This function is similar to the common vi select a range of text with "(" to ")" but not sure how to run the same function in command line. Here's the input file : statement statement statement statement statement statement statement statement statement Today( "here" MONDAY = map( "monday") TUESDAY = map( "tuesday" ) WESNESDAY = map( "wednesday" ) THURSDAY = map( "thursday" ) FRIDAY = map( "friday" ) SATURDAY = map( "saturday" ) SUNDAY = map( "sunday" ) ); statement statement statement statement statement statement statement statement statement Output file : -------------- Today( "here" MONDAY = layer( "monday" ) TUESDAY = layer( "tuesday" ) WESNESDAY = layer( "wednesday" ) THURSDAY = layer( "thursday" ) FRIDAY = layer( "friday" ) SATURDAY = pinText( "saturday" ) SUNDAY = pinText( "sunday" ) ); Thanks in advance, cursive
