Hi,

 

You can just use a Text To Columns tool and use '(' as a delimiter.

 

That would parse the bits in brackets to a new column.

Thanks for accepting the solution!

 

FYI, if you had to use Regex, something like this could work: (\([a-z]+\))

 

You would choose the output method of "Parse".
