javascript match extract of string?

[cyberpine]

Why do I get both the greedy and non-greedy? How do I extract "somestring" only? I'm on IE7.

thanks

<script type="text/javascript">
var x = "(EVAL)(H:somestring)Some other Text here";
var full =(x.match(/\(H\:(.*?)\)/g)); // produces "(H:somestring)" as expected	
alert(full);
var inside = (x.match(/\(H\:(.*)\)/)); // produces "(H:somestring),somestring" .. I only 

want "somestring"
alert(inside);
</script>
