Hello Zopers,=20

I have the following problem:=20

I have a string from a database and want to delete a part from the =
string
and write it back to the database.=20

An example:=20

a =3D ' some words ( another words)'=20
I want to extract now everything without the brackets themselves anth =
the
words in the brackets.=20
That should be the result.=20

a =3D 'some words'=20

How can I do that. With the string-module and "find"  I can get the =
index
where the brackets begin. But there is no function to get the string =
from
index 0 to the result  index of "find".=20

Is there another way to do this?=20

I=B4m sure that somebody has a solution for me.=20
