Michael already explained it.

I would rather opt to use regex to extract the exact piece of text you
are interested in. FPC includes a capable regex implementation.

  regex string:   ⸢\((\d+\w.*/s)\)⸥

  and you should be able to reference the value between '(' and ')' with
the first matching group... normally referenced as ⸢\1⸥

ps:
  The text between ⸢ and ⸥ are the regex syntax.
