THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! That did the trick. I didn't think about
that as a possibility.
I have another question now. How would I go about defining ascii characters
that are not on my keyboard in the character class? There must be a way of
defining a character class using the ascii values instead of the actual
character. I just don't know how to do it.
Thanks,
Chris

How about just using a class consisting of anything except
what you don't want:
s/" ([^")]+)\)/" "$1")/g
The ^ after the opening bracket negates the character class.
