more about regex, but, its not quite working out that way... LOL.
I have two possible result strings that MAY come in...
prestring|result1|result2|poststring
or just
prestring|result1|poststring
I just need to eliminate the everything up to the first | and everything
after the last |. I will always have at least two | in the returned string
to me, Sometimes three.
I tried to morph what you guys said to fit my needs but it just didn't
happen.
Any other help would be appreciated. This needs to work on both CFMX and
CF5.0.

In cf5:
newstring = rereplace(string, "[^(]*(\(.*\)).*", "\1");
Note that this will return the entire string if there is no parentheses.
You could do it in two steps to avoid that
newstring = "";
stTmp = REFind("\(.*\)",string,1,true);
if(stTmp.pos[1]) newstring = Mid(string,stTmp.pos[1],stTmp.len[1]);
