need help extracting data from a text file

[nephish at xit.net]

this is cool, it is only going to run about 10 times a day,

the text is not written out like foo(bar) its more like
foo blah blah blah (bar)

the thing is , every few days the structure of the textfile may change,
one of the reasons i wanted to avoid the re.

thanks for the tip,
