hi everyone can someone help me with the regular expression to chop the string in to peaces
basically i am looking for a pattern to match this line in the file.
"1980_1.rtf" (5 December 1984) Cosby and Cosby (189 street of people)
i want to get a specific string on the line,i want to achive the following results.

string num 1 = "1980_1.rtf"
string num 2 = (5 December 1984)
string num3 = Cosby and Cosby
string num 4 = (189 street of people)

why not use a comma seperated data file that can easily be processed with php. does the file have to be formatted that way?
