Quick sed/awk question

Hi fellow linux-ers,

I have a quick question for you. I have the following text, which I would like to modify:

Code:
10 121E(121) 16 Jan
34S 132E 24 Feb
42 176E(176) 18 Sep
21S 164E 25 May
15 171W(-171) 09 Jul

How can I do the following 2 modifications using sed and/or awk?
1. in 1st column, if a field has an "S", delete the "S" and add a "-" in front of number
2. in the 2nd column, delete the parenthesis and the number that exists within it

Thanks!!!

NAME
libmtp - The object management API. Functions int LIBMTP_Delete_Object (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *, uint32_t) int LIBMTP_Set_Object_Filename (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *, uint32_t, char *) Detailed Description Function Documentation int LIBMTP_Delete_Object (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *device, uint32_tobject_id) This function deletes a single file, track, playlist, folder or any other object off the MTP device, identified by the object ID. If you delete a folder, there is no guarantee that the device will really delete all the files that were in that folder, rather it is expected that they will not be deleted, and will turn up in object listings with parent set to a non-existant object ID. The safe way to do this is to recursively delete all files (and folders) contained in the folder, then the folder itself. Parameters: device a pointer to the device to delete the object from. object_id the object to delete. Returns: 0 on success, any other value means failure. References LIBMTP_mtpdevice_struct::params. int LIBMTP_Set_Object_Filename (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *device, uint32_tobject_id, char *newname) THIS FUNCTION IS DEPRECATED.
