Hello Zopers,

I have the following problem:

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

An example:

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

a =3D 'some words'

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

Is there another way to do this?

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


Steffen
