using 'intro' in RegExp

[looka]

hi, is possible to create a regular expression, who will match entire, but return only a part of a string given?

mystring = 'yiha(whatever)';

-i would like, i.e., only extract whatever is written in a between '(' and ')', but if followed with a word 'yiha'


tnx

You can try working with this regular expression...

<script type="text/javascript">
 <!--//
  var mystring = 'yiha(whatever)';
   if(/yiha\((.*)\)/.test(mystring)){
      alert(RegExp.$1);
   }
 //-->
</script>
