Question

    Dim strSplit() As String
    Dim strReal As String
    Dim i A         


        

Answer 1

Dim src As String = "hello (string1) there how (string2) are you?"
Dim strs As New List(Of String)

Dim start As Integer = 0
Dim [end] As Integer = 0

While start < src.Length

    start = src.IndexOf("("c, start)
    If start <> -1 Then
        [end] = src.IndexOf(")"c, start)
        If [end] <> -1 Then
            Dim subStr As String = src.Substring(start + 1, [end] - start - 1)
            If Not subStr.StartsWith("(") Then strs.Add(src.Substring(start + 1, [end] - start - 1))
        End If
    Else
        Exit While
    End If

    start += 1 ' Increment start to skip to next (

End While

This should do it.

Dim result = Regex.Matches(src, "\(([^()]*)\)").Cast(Of Match)().Select(Function(x) x.Groups(1))

Would also work.
