local String = "Hello (John Doe) world!"
local Name = string.match(String, "%b()")
print(Name) --'(John Doe)'.
Name = string.gsub(String, "^%a+%s%((%a+%s%a+)%)%s%a+!$", "%1")
print(Name) --'John Doe'.
%bxy captures everything from the first character ‘x’ to the last character ‘y’ and everything in between.
%n represents the nth capture group.
