I would use preg_replace_callback() for something like this:
(untested)
<?php
$string = 'some text (\(EX\) RV-6 ) and the end.';
fumction cb($data){
$r = $data; //just in case not good format
$parts = split(' ',$data);
if(count($parts) > 1){
$r = '( '.$parts[1].' )';
}
return $r;
}
$new_string = preg_replace_callback('/\(\\\(\w+\\\)\s[\w-]+\s\)/s','cb',
$string);
