How about:
Code:
$ cat usertail 
TMP=~/tmp.$$
REM="ok some"
echo "(ok)-test
(ok)-test-(ing)
(some)-test-(ing)-test
test-(ing)" > $TMP

for rem in $REM
do 	sed s,\($rem\),,g  -i $TMP
done
sed s,^\-,,g $TMP

$ ./usertail
test
test-(ing)
test-(ing)-test
test-(ing)

Hope this helps

NAME
remove group - Removes all group members and the group from the specified name service entry SYNOPSIS
rpccp remove group group-entry-name [-s syntax] OPTIONS
Indicates the name syntax of the entry name (optional). The only value for this option is the dce name syntax, which is the default name syntax. Until an alternative name syntax becomes available, specifying the -s option is unnecessary. ARGUMENTS

The remove group command removes a group from the name service database. The group need not be empty. The entry name of the group is required. Privilege Required You need write permission to the CDS object entry (the target group entry). NOTE
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. EXAMPLES
The following commands run RPCCP and remove the group from the name service entry /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group: $ rpccp rpccp> remove group /.:/LandS/anthro/Calendar_group RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: add member(1m), remove member(1m), show group(1m) remove group(1m)
