Hi,

So I want to use a delimiter to pull what is between parenthesis (). However, the condition of using the delimiter is that the entire column (all the rows in that column) must have the rounded brackets.

Name :Expected result :
This is a (product) nameproduct
Here is (another product) nameanother product
I am (giving a third) examplegiving a third
This is the fourth (example)example

However, if all rows do not have the delimiter, then do not use the delimiter :

Name :Expected result :
This is a product nameThis is a product name
This is (another product) nameThis is (another product) name
I am (giving a third) exampleI am (giving a third) example
This is the fourth exampleThis is the fourth example

How can I accomplish that ?

Thank you.
