select text within matching ( ) bracket

hi,

i am looking for a simple command to select text within a open bracket "("
and a matching close bracket ")" and output the within-bracket-text to a file.
this function is similar to the common vi select a range of text with "(" to ")"
but not sure how to run the same function in command line.

here's the input file :

statement statement statement
statement statement statement
statement statement statement

today( "here"

monday = map( "monday")
tuesday = map( "tuesday" )

wesnesday = map( "wednesday" )
thursday = map( "thursday" )
friday = map( "friday" )

saturday = map( "saturday" )
sunday = map( "sunday" )

);

statement statement statement
statement statement statement
statement statement statement

output file :
--------------

today( "here"

monday = layer( "monday" )
tuesday = layer( "tuesday" )

wesnesday = layer( "wednesday" )
thursday = layer( "thursday" )
friday = layer( "friday" )

saturday = pintext( "saturday" )
sunday = pintext( "sunday" )

);

thanks in advance,

find, make and move file based on username

find, make and move file based on username

hi there,
i'm new to unix( just 3month used),
i found my new box contained alot of files and directories in /home/box/
i've tried to search script in tis forum and found many of them but, i don't know
how to combine them to make a script, although using pipes.
my tasks are:

1) to scan user dir in /home/user/ - i'm used ls-ld /home/$user/ , $user must be key in.

2) then, grouping all files in scanned dir(in task 1), into group of extensions such as ".txt",".sh",".dat"
i used the ls -l | awk 'begin {fs="."} {print $2}'>index.txt

3) based on index.txt, i'm going to make directories referring to those extensions eg.
/home/user/txtextension
/home/user/datextension/
then move all of files to their extension dir. i'm sorry, i can't find the way to create this script.

i tried all my best to combine all above simple script but, no.3 is quite hard for me.
is there any unix-shell expert have ideas, solutions, or even example scripts to guide me
regards,

what editor does everyone use

what editor does everyone use?

sory, i was looking through the topics and i wasn't sure if this was the best place to post this question:

i was wondering, out of curiosity, which software everyone was using to code their scripts in. i do mostly sh/ksh and my favorite has always been editplus because it is small, fast, yet powerful. plus other users in the community have coded syntax highlighting for languages that editplus hasn't included.

my two main concerns are:
1. simplicity (i tend to like souped up versions of notepad, which is what editplus seems to be).
2. syntax highlighting.

i posted this because perhaps there's an even better program i should be using. or perhaps someone has a very good syntax highlighting file that i haven't found yet.
