Hello,

I am trying to split a string that contains parentheses; the aim here is
to keep the part that's before the opening parenthese:

the string (quoted here) is "36 (72 cm)"
First I want to know if the string contains at least an openning
parenthese; if it does, I split it and extract the first token (ie "36 ").
My code follows

if (preg_match("/\(/", $sPermutationName)) {
$tokens = explode("\(", $sPermutationName);
$sPermutationName = $tokens[0];
}

but that does not work. Would anyone care to enlighten me on this one?
