Filtered text of name - workflow 2013

+6

I have a field where I've stored the name of approving a task. 
Scenarios will be stored all the information about the approval.

Now I want to have everything filtered out so I only see the name of the person - how do I do it?

You really need to provide more and better info for community members to be able to understand your situation and help you.

Cheers,

Regular expresions to the rescue

([^()]+)$

^^ will show: (Bente Bang Gormsen)

I do not know now form my head how to remove the parentheses but perhaps that is something for you to find out.
