Try this:
make a new stack
add field "input" and field "output"
then this handler in the stack script
---------start copy
on mouseDoubleUp
get fld "input"
put "(?U)\(.*\)" into regEx
put replaceText(it, regEx, "") into ans
repeat for each word WRD in ans
put WRD & space after smoothAns
end repeat
put smoothAns into fld "output"
end mouseDoubleUp
-----end copy
the regEx says "open paren, then any character, repeating until a close
paren is found.
the (?U) says to find the shortest match rather than the longest possible
match. RegEx defaults to finding the longest possible match.
Hope this helps.
